My background#

I was born in México city and since my chilhood i was passionate about science, thats why i studied biotechnology engineering. During my bachelor i developed different projects such as natural dyes with nut`s shell,pumice stone as a vehicle to deliver nutrients to plants and bioplastics. At the last part from my bachelor i created the startup called Ecoplaso intended to develop bioplastics out of organic food waste.
