Electrical Designer and Draftsman | Software development
January 2021 - Present
I joined a New Zealand engineering company where I worked as an electrical drawing designer, developing in-house design standards and programming work. I developed Python scripts to automate tasks. I worked on the development of a web application for GPS tracking with IOT devices, involving both backend and frontend design. Constantly improving and working to bring the best quality and reliability to customers.
Because of my interest in the subject, I was given small tasks to automate data entry processes. I used the Openpyxl and Python libraries to speed up the loading of data into the company’s standard spreadsheets.
2 years ago I was asked to develop a web application that could track various devices and sensors using IOT technology. I was in charge of the project:
-
Investigate and implement LoRAWAN connections from sensors to gateways. Finding the best options and considering which sensor is best suited to the task.
-
Establish the connection between the gateways and the server running the application.
-
I developed the RestAPI server using Python and FastAPI. I designed the various endpoints for the MySQL database, the IOT sensors and the front-end.
-
I had to manage the deployment of the application on the server hosted by Hostinger, using a VPS running Ubuntu Server.

About-me 
My name is Juan Ignacio, I am an
electronic technician
and I have
5
years of experience in software development and programming, and
2
years doing fullstack and data analysis work.
I graduated in 2015 from a technical college where I learned several skills in logic, mathematics and problem solving. I specialised in the design of electronic circuits and industrial control installations:
-
I acquired knowledge of medium and low voltage electrical installations.
-
I designed and implemented circuits with integrated circuits such as the LM741, LM555, logic gates and others.
-
I worked with PID closed-loop control circuits.
-
I programmed PIC microcontrollers in C language and used them in control and automation circuits.
-
I implemented solutions by designing and programming the Schneider PLC logic and connecting the equipment, motors and sensors.
When I finished high school, I turned my academic path towards the sciences and began studying for a degree in astronomy.
I spent several years there, where I was able to consolidate my knowledge of advanced mathematics, multivariable calculus, algebra and linear algebra, advanced physics, among others. It also boosted my critical thinking and further developed my problem-solving skills.
In 2019 I started working remotely for New Zealand in electrical design and engineering, designing wiring diagrams with AutoCAD Electrical. At the same time, and because the career I was in was oriented towards the use of software, I took up the study of software development on my own and accompanied it with courses. I became interested in the
Python
language in particular. And from there I started adding other languages (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL) and frameworks (React, NodeJS, Express, Astro, Flask, FastAPI, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, MySQL, among others).
In 2021, thanks to my good performance, I joined a New Zealand design and engineering company.
Since then, I have been developing in the professional environment of the sector and, in addition, expanding my knowledge of programming and development.
