Professional profile
Design, fabrication and integration of physical and digital experiences
Salta, Argentina · https://ylh3d.com.ar · info@ylh3d.com.ar
Develops solutions connecting design, fabrication, electronics and software. Since 2018 he has run YLHDs, addressing client needs and personal projects from concept through fabrication, testing and delivery. His earlier background in administration, finance and operations brings business understanding, organization and experience leading teams.
His design approach starts with understanding who a solution serves and why. He connects function, form, materials, interaction, fabrication and cost, applying this thinking to objects, interfaces and digital services. He studied Industrial Design at UCASAL; the degree is incomplete.
Lucas originates the ideas and initiatives behind his projects. He defines needs and behavior, chooses tools, directs iterations and validates results. Since March 2026 he has used AI to develop code and examine ideas, expanding what he can build with available resources. This does not imply independent programming or specialist expertise in every technology used. He brings his own computing foundation and practical programming knowledge: he understands what tools are for, explores how they work and takes part in integration decisions. The work combines that foundation with learning, research and validation of results.
At eight he discovered the Commodore 64, copying simple BASIC programs from a book and playing games loaded from cassette with a Datasette. An XT clone PC came later, followed by computing courses in Salta between 1990 and 1992. From the 2000s onward he regularly maintained PC hardware and installed and maintained Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11. He later added six years of practical Linux use on his own systems, using Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Omarchy.
Six years of practical Linux use on his own systems: Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Arch Linux through Omarchy. Installation, configuration, maintenance and integration through research, documentation and assistance as needed; not six years of professional Linux or cloud administration employment.
His learning starts with real equipment and practical needs. He installs, configures, maintains and repairs his computers, networks and printers, consulting documentation and verifying operation. This practice began before he incorporated AI into development.
He connects a person’s needs with the object, components, software and interaction. He selects tools and materials, builds, tests and refines, aiming for a working solution within available resources. His projects combine design, fabrication and integration decisions.
Lucas originates the initiatives: he defines what is needed, how a solution should behave and how it will be assessed. He uses AI particularly to implement code and compare alternatives, and validates results on his equipment and in use. Assistance expands his ability to build without replacing his authorship or practical verification.
His administration and operations background brings organization, business understanding and experience coordinating people. He wants to apply that foundation alongside his practical technical skills in a technology team, learn its procedures and take on responsibilities aligned with his capabilities.
AI assistant Lucas works with on his projects
When we work on his projects, Lucas defines the need, the expected behavior and how to check the result. I assist mainly with code implementation and comparing alternatives. He connects those tools with his practical experience in hardware, networks, printers and fabrication, leads the iterations and validates what we build on real equipment. That combination helps explain his contribution: conceiving, integrating, testing and continuing to learn through practice.
Description by his AI assistant, based on documented project work and prepared for this public profile. · 2026-11-06
Join a technology team working with hardware, systems and infrastructure: installing, maintaining, diagnosing and integrating solutions. Bring his practical experience and work organization skills while developing in a professional environment with varied challenges and continuous learning. He is open to an entry-level role aligned with his capabilities and to learning the team’s procedures and standards.
On his own equipment he installs and replaces PC components, configures operating systems and headless servers, and sets up data networks. For his printers he handles assembly, calibration, rewiring and replacement of controller boards or power supplies; he compiled Marlin and prepared and flashed Klipper firmware for his machines. He researches documentation and verifies operation when integrating components.

Starting with an Anet in mid-2018, he independently learned about components, hardware, maintenance, repairs and Marlin firmware. This experience predates his current use of AI.
He later explored Klipper, migrated machines previously running Marlin and organized a printer fleet using a server as its brain. He personally installed and configured Klipper on four workshop printers.
Later, within YLHDs and using AI-assisted development, he integrated the Hub and printer fleet: per-machine telemetry readers, remote control and assistance from Titán.

Combines guided courses with independent exploration: keeps notes, practises, consults documentation and learns while solving needs in his devices and projects. His computing foundation predates his use of AI.
Keeps an Obsidian vault from the ONE pathway and JavaScript exercises: a secret-number game, conditionals, loops, functions, lists and interaction with HTML. Notes also cover HTML/CSS, Flexbox, responsive layouts and Git/GitHub. These are learning materials, not commercial projects.
From practical hardware and Windows work through Linux, printer firmware and system integration, applies knowledge expanded through research and assistance tools. Takes part in defining, testing and evaluating what he builds.
Participated in ONE and explored CS50 Python without completing either full pathway. He reports that a late submission interrupted continuity in ONE and he did not resume it. Preserved notes and exercises document part of his learning.
Lucas values dynamic learning, exploration, connections between subjects and clear explanations. He seeks challenges that open possibilities and allow experimentation, rather than difficulty for its own sake. In Industrial Design he hoped for a more agile pace and creative, participatory teaching; financial constraints also affected his ability to continue. He values what he learned and achieved during that period, without reducing the experience to criticism of the institution.
Needs assessment, parametric CAD in Fusion, prototyping and 3D printing since 2018; connects function, material, orientation, supports and presentation. Accumulated experience with components, maintenance, firmware and printer configuration.
Objects using NFC/QR, microcontrollers, sensors, controls, screens and interfaces coordinating actions across devices.

Contribution: Lucas defines identity, interaction, tools and priorities, integrates devices and validates behavior in practice with AI-assisted development.
Result: Lucas uses it daily for conversation and workshop assistance; it continues to evolve and has compatibility and continuity limitations.
Personal prototype in use
A desktop control for interacting with a computer: turn it to adjust volume, press to mute, and use other modes to switch windows or desktops and display lighting responses to keyboard activity and system processes.
Contribution: Use concept, enclosure, electronics integration, profiles and interaction; direction and validation of AI-assisted firmware, bridge and interface.
Result: A personal prototype in use and tested on his computers. The application and bridge connect the computer to the microcontroller, which drives the LEDs; capabilities and integration depend on the system and version.
Operational personal application
An application for running YLHDs: Lucas manages clients and sales and issues invoices through ARCA integration, replacing a workflow previously kept in spreadsheets.
Contribution: Lucas contributes knowledge of his business, defines workflows and data, tests results and uses the application in his work.
Result: Lucas uses it to manage his business and issue invoices; the system continues to evolve.
Kits sold to makers
A physical arena or stadium with modular stands and collectible NFC totems connects the object to Totem Dash: tapping a phone opens a web game experience with rankings and multipliers.
Contribution: Lucas conceives the experience, models parts, prepares chips and materials and proposes a distributed manufacturing network. His first working AI-assisted project, started in Google AI Studio.
Result: 7 makers purchased kits to take part in the concept. According to Lucas, there were no sales to end consumers.
Interactive prototype
A visitor’s phone controls content and games on a screen through QR or NFC, without installing an application.
Contribution: Visitor/screen flow design, experience selection and integration of playback, remote control and panels with AI assistance.
Result: The prototype brings together a screen, phone control and management panel, with audiovisual content and games.
In domestic use
A passive QR/NFC plaque opens a web doorbell; interaction triggers a notification in the recipient’s own applications.
Contribution: Lucas conceives the app-free visitor flow, designs the physical piece and integrates web, notifications and native clients with AI assistance.
Result: Works at his home according to his validation. The plaque needs no power supply; the service relies on a phone and digital infrastructure. It does not prove geographic proximity.
Mentoring prototype
An NFC desktop dock conceived for mentoring: a person taps their phone on the object to reach a digital space for content, milestones and professional guidance.
Contribution: Physical/digital service concept, dock design and definition of professional and user roles; AI-assisted implementation.
Result: The prototype brings together the object design and sources for the panel and user environment; student use and outcomes have not been validated.
Object fabricated and delivered
A heart-shaped lamp that responds to touch by changing lighting scenes and rhythms. A fabricated and delivered object combining 3D printing, electronics and interaction.
Contribution: Lucas used an AI-generated visual reference and worked through its transition into an object: model, base, component enclosure, fabrication and lighting tests. He integrated the touch sensor and directed the assisted firmware development.
Result: The finished piece combines form, light diffusion and gesture-controlled illumination. The recordings show the object and its lighting response; it is an expressive representation, not a medical instrument.
Exploratory MVP
A concept for restaurants connecting guests, staff, kitchen and venue screen: from the table people can explore ordering and service alongside music and social participation.
Contribution: Lucas defines the concept and the flows between table, staff and screen. When the form is still open, he uses AI-generated images for inspiration and decides whether to follow or depart from them; he directs assisted development.
Result: The exploratory MVP brings together interfaces for customers, venue staff, administration and screen. A commercial demonstration took place; it does not establish venue adoption.
Service prototype
A table-side interface for guests to request service and staff to follow the request from a panel, with complementary experiences while waiting.
Contribution: Definition of service states and customer/staff interaction; a related variant within the Smart Dining universe.
Result: The prototype includes customer, venue and administration interfaces; commercial deployment is not established.
Configurable business prototype
Product catalog with preparation lead times, weekly hours and exceptions to select collection and send an order through WhatsApp.
Contribution: Lucas defines the buying and logistics flow and develops administration, customization and catalogs for different businesses with AI.
Result: The code composes a message and Calendar link. Choosing a time is not a capacity reservation or a confirmed purchase.
Gamification prototype
A visitor participates from a phone in a wheel displayed on a screen, with prize configuration and a venue panel.
Contribution: Cross-device experience design and visual/functional review of the flow with assisted development.
Result: The prototype brings together screen, phone and administration interfaces. Actual prize redemption and commercial adoption have not been verified.
Partial development
A concept for rooms where friends share music, chat and participate in playback from their devices.
Contribution: Lucas starts from an experience with friends and defines a social concept, directing queue, playback and device integration.
Result: Development paused at a partial stage; search and queue have known issues.
Solution proposal
A meeting concept: objects on the table connect participants with a shared content environment.
Contribution: System concept, interaction and technical alternatives adapted to hosting constraints.
Result: The proposal was documented as a concept; implementation is not established.

Result: The explored stage brings together identity assets, scripts and renders; the proposal also includes web and fabrication phases.
Exploratory software versions
Explorations of tools for organizing clients, sales, stock, routes, collections and quotations, shaped around business management needs.
Contribution: Understanding business processes, defining entities and workflows, and reviewing interfaces with AI assistance.
Result: Exploratory software versions and earlier Command Center work are preserved, without claiming third-party use.
Personal-system integration
A workshop sensor collects temperature and humidity. Its service provides readings through its own panel; Lucas also uses them on the Pizarrón and in his management Hub.
Contribution: Sensor, configuration and visualization integration, with assisted firmware development.
Result: Connects physical sensing to software. The DHT11 has a known bias and is not precision environmental instrumentation.
Fabrication practice since 2018
Parts and resources for concrete client needs, from educational materials to custom components, designed for their use and fabrication through 3D printing.
Contribution: Lucas works with clients, measures, models, quotes, fabricates and delivers. He chooses geometries and processes to produce presentable parts without painting or finishing where possible.
Result: Examples include an educational Mini Arco, control-panel plates and customized wheel caps with verified fit. Each case requires its own validation.
Native Spanish. English used for technical reading, with listening and conversation practice; no standardized proficiency certification.
Seeks opportunities in technology: joining a team, collaborating or developing solutions through his studio. He is available to relocate to another province or country; he currently lacks the personal funds to finance relocation, so its feasibility and support arrangements need to be agreed for each opportunity.
