Sergio Gallegos

I’m a Senior Automation & Controls Engineer with over 14 years of experience designing and integrating PLCs, HMIs, robotics, and vision systems for fully automated industrial assembly machines. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Science in Software Engineering, focused on the complete software lifecycle: architecture and design, requirements engineering, construction, verification and validation, and project management.

My career began in Mexico with a degree in Electromechanical Engineering and has continued in the United States, building production-critical automation systems. My long-term goal is to bridge industrial automation with modern software engineering: using Rust for reliable, high-performance backend systems, Python for training AI models, and practical machine learning that delivers measurable improvements on real manufacturing equipment.

I also study GPU architecture and low-level GPU programming as a hobby to better understand how modern AI workloads execute and how performance can be optimized at the systems level.

In parallel, I teach. My YouTube series, Inteligencia Artificial Desde Cero, is a comprehensive Spanish-language course covering Python, mathematics for machine learning, and deep learning fundamentals, aimed at making AI accessible to engineers and students.

Outside of work, I’m a father of two, a soccer fan, and a regular at the gym.
