Fernando Javier Alcántara López

Software Engineer · Data Engineering · Scientific Computing · ADAS Validation

Software engineer with 8+ years of combined experience in data-intensive software development, scientific computing, and computational modeling. I build Python and C++ tools, automated data-processing workflows, and analytical solutions for complex engineering systems. I hold a PhD in Mathematical Sciences and am growing my specialization in machine learning, computer vision, and MLOps.

Experience

AUMOVIO (formerly Continental) — Software Test Engineer / Functional Test Owner

May 2022–Present · Querétaro, Mexico

  • Designed Python data-processing pipelines integrating radar, camera, LiDAR, and DGPS data for large-scale ADAS validation.
  • Built workflows to correlate sensor outputs with ground truth and identify data inconsistencies and performance issues.
  • Developed reusable root-cause analysis pipelines for false-positive and false-negative events across ADAS functions.
  • Applied computer vision and machine learning to automate event detection, image labeling, and behavioral analysis.
  • Reduced manual image data-preparation effort by approximately 95%.
  • Replaced an external validation software solution, eliminating approximately $140,000 USD in licensing costs.

Scientific Software Engineer / Research Software Engineer

CONACYT-SENER Hydrocarbon Sector Fund, Project 168638 · 2012–2014 and Nov 2016–Feb 2018

  • Developed C/C++ scientific software with WinAPI/OpenGL interfaces and real-time visualization for fractured and vuggy reservoir simulation.
  • Implemented analytical and numerical methods for triple-porosity and triple-permeability models.
  • Applied topological and geometric analysis to derive porosity and permeability properties from pore-network characteristics.
  • Collaborated with petrophysicists, physicists, and mathematicians to formulate and validate computational models.

Selected projects

  • ADAS Perception — Experimental ADAS object-detection work using YOLO11n and automotive datasets, with attention to reproducible experiments, evaluation, and error analysis.
  • SimuCaS-V1 — C++ application for robotic manipulator kinematics and 3D visualization with OpenGL.
