Raphael Rueda

Certified SolidWorks Mechanical Design Associate, demonstrating proficiency in utilizing SolidWorks software for mechanical design tasks and enhancing engineering workflows. Focus on specializing in mathematics, I serve as a teaching designated tutor for the faculty of basic sciences (2015-2018), where I provide instructional support to students ranging from basic multivariable calculus, linear algebra to advanced topics such as complex systems analysis and differential equations. In 2017, I participated in a project with the technology and innovation branch of the National Education Service (Tecnoparque SENA), Our task was to design an irrigation system for a greenhouse, financed by the city, aimed at automating the irrigation process for seeds and crops before transplantation to the farmland. Managing timelines, resources, and stakeholder expectations during this project sharpened my project management skills, preparing me for future leadership roles in engineering endeavors and problem solving. Developed a comprehensive understanding of systems design failure and fatigue theory, gaining valuable insights into the complexities of mechanical systems and their performance under varying conditions. Proficient in applying linear algebra techniques, particularly in determining eigenvalues and eigenvectors of stress tensor systems, essential for both theoretical analysis and practical applications such as finite element analysis (FEA). Hands-on experience in implementing and interpreting analysis results using industry-standard software tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and ANSYS, enabling the validation and optimization of mechanical designs for robustness and performance.
