Hi, My name is Xabier Fernandez

About Me

I’m interested in technology and computer science, and I enjoy turning real-world problems into working systems. I’ve worked with engineering companies on projects across the automotive, aerospace, and food industries. Most of my hands-on work centers on industrial automation—robots, PLCs, and computer vision—combined with IIoT and data science. I build applications for automated machine data capture, reliable storage, clear presentation, and thoughtful statistical analysis, using a wide range of technologies from shop-floor devices to cloud platforms. I also like writing documentation, creating demos, and sharing what I learn.

I believe in self-education. You can learn something new every day.
