About Me

Marcos Penon

Hi,

I'm Marcos.

Ing. ElectrónicaHardwareEmbedded

I'm an Electronics Engineering student from Argentina with a background in mechanical engineering. I enjoy building things, learning new technologies, and turning ideas into working projects.

What motivates me most is taking on challenges that push me beyond what I already know. I'm always looking for opportunities to explore new fields, work with different people, and tackle projects that force me to learn something new.

I'm passionate about embedded systems, robotics, hardware design, biomedical engineering, aerospace, and entrepreneurship. I enjoy creating, experimenting, and continuously improving, whether it's through personal projects, research, or new collaborations.

This portfolio is a collection of the projects I've built, the experiences I've gained, and the technologies I'm exploring along the way.

Featured Projects

Medidor de EMI

Instrumento de medición · diseño propio

Medidor de interferencia electromagnética (EMI) diseñado para operar en entornos de alta interferencia. El sistema integra una antena de loop, etapa de acondicionamiento analógico, ADC y microcontrolador en un gabinete compacto diseñado e impreso en 3D. Pensado para diagnóstico de equipos industriales y laboratorio.

Hardware & Sistemas Embebidos

PCBs, ESP32, STM32 — diseño propio

Diseño placas desde el esquemático hasta el PCB listo para fabricar. ESP32, STM32, sensores, etapas de potencia — lo que haga falta. Después modelo el gabinete y lo imprimo. Cada placa nace de un problema real.

Experience

Donner Ski RanchCalifornia, USA · 2024–25

Operator & Ski Rental

Work and Travel program in California. Worked in rental, services, and as a lift operator. Beyond the daily operations, I chose this because I love living experiences that make me uncomfortable and teach me: I learned to ski from scratch, handled customer service in English, and adapted to a completely different environment.
