Mateo combines an engineering background with a master’s degree in AI and a down-to-earth perspective. He enjoys working with neural networks and believes everything can be automated. Whether it should be is another matter.
Mateo has a master's degree in AI and a background in industrial engineering (electromechanics). He has a consistent way of thinking about how to solve problems and procedures. He follows the same four main steps in his work: figuring out the question, examining the problem, designing a solution and putting it into practice.
He is highly motivated and passionate about his work. According to Mateo, to be part of Coretecs, you have to be. It is not enough to just 'show up for work' without wanting to delve into data and complex problems or to really want to automate and optimise processes.
One example of a project he enjoys working on is 'Dino Biscuits', which are cookies that have different shapes of dinosaurs and are popular in Belgium. A robotic arm uses image recognition to pick three different shapes. This way, children who open their packages are more likely to find three different kinds of dinosaur cookies instead of three identical ones.
Mateo is a real sports enthusiast. He likes to go wakeboarding and windsurfing in summer, but he switches to freestyle skiing when it snows.
