I'm Fabio — Columbia mechanical engineer _

Fabio Nunez Del Prado

About Me

I'm a mechanical engineer from Columbia with a focus on vehicle systems and thermal design. I've been living in CAD since 2017 — it's where I do my best thinking. I've used that to prototype electric vehicles at a Y Combinator startup and lead powertrain system development for a Formula SAE race car.

I'm drawn to problems where sustainability meets performance — and where the solution has to actually get built, not just modeled. I don't stop working until I see the sunrise twice.

Outside of engineering, I swim, produce music, play drums, and never miss a soccer match.

Currently open to opportunities in design engineering, vehicle engineering, or thermal systems.
