PhD in Chemical Engineering. Assistant Researcher at PLAPIQUI (UNS–CONICET) and Teaching Assistant in the Chemical Engineering Department at Universidad Nacional del Sur, in Bahía Blanca, Argentina.

I work on particle technology and droplet physics, and I build the software those two things need — image analysis, numerical models, instrument parsers, and the desktop tools that wrap them. Mostly Python and Rust, lately some Kotlin: a few of those models belong on a phone, where the person who wants the answer already is. Occasionally a game engine, for the fun of it.

The work behind most of the code — the published side of it is listed under Publications, and some of it is still unpublished:

• Droplet evaporation and cooling — coupled heat and mass transfer for water droplets in air, comparing Wilson, Abramzon–Sirignano and classical D²-law formulations under adaptive ODE solvers with event detection.
• Agricultural spray drift — atomization, transport, evaporation and deposition, assembled as a literature knowledge base where every implemented model stays traceable to the equations in its source paper.
• Population balance methods — independently resolving aggregated, broken, coated/attritioned and newborn particles. Solvers written across Fortran, Julia and Python, because the reference implementations were.
• Particle size distribution instrumentation — parsing Horiba LA-950 .ngb (OLE/CFB) binaries into Dv10/Dv50/Dv90 metrics and client-ready reports, with a Python implementation shipping today and a Rust port tracking it for parity.
• Grain morphometry — sand-grain segmentation with MobileSAM/ONNX, then roundness and sphericity measurement and corner annotation.

Reverse-engineering the RPG Maker 2000/2003 file formats turned into a whole party of projects: easy-rpg-REditor above is the public one, alongside a native Rust engine and editor workspace, an earlier Python engine, an asset pipeline, and a Godot experiment. Much of it is built by pair-programming with an AI assistant — an honest experiment in how far that goes on a real, file-format-accurate desktop tool, and one I write about.

None of it is affiliated with or endorsed by EasyRPG, whose open documentation of the LCF format and liblcf reference implementation made it possible.

As a Teaching Assistant in the Chemical Engineering Department at UNS: undergraduate fluid mechanics and particulate solids processing, run through GitHub Classroom as solved exercises in notebooks, plus course tooling and a theory corpus for the Particle Engineering group. Reproducibility is a grading criterion, not a nice-to-have.
