About me¶
Hi! I’m Grecia Shaiel Bello Segovia, an Electronics and Systems Engineer passionate about embedded systems, robotics, semiconductors, digital fabrication, and innovative technology for social impact.
I enjoy developing projects that combine hardware, software, design, and fabrication, especially in areas related to automation, assistive technologies, IoT, smart systems, and human-centered innovation. My work connects engineering with education, prototyping, and real-world problem solving.
My background¶
I am from Bolivia, where I actively work in the fields of engineering, digital fabrication, and STEM innovation. I hold a Fabricademy certification, which strengthened my background in advanced digital fabrication, bio-inspired design, materials exploration, and interdisciplinary prototyping.
I am also the coordinator of FabLab Santa Cruz in Bolivia, where I support the development of maker projects, digital fabrication initiatives, and collaborative learning spaces that connect technology, creativity, and community impact.
In addition, I studied Fabricademy program at Fab Lab Barcelona, an experience that expanded my perspective on how fabrication technologies can be applied to innovation, sustainability, and education.
Previous work¶
One of my most meaningful projects was Arakuaa, a machine designed to transform plastic bottles into textile fibers, combining sustainability, circular economy, and fabrication technologies to create local impact through innovation.
Another important project I have worked on is the electronic development of prostheses using MMG systems (Mechanomyography), focused on creating assistive technology solutions through biosignal acquisition, electronics, and intelligent control systems.
More broadly, I have participated in multidisciplinary projects involving embedded systems, sensor integration, electronics, digital manufacturing, 3D design, rapid prototyping, and fabrication workflows. I am especially interested in creating solutions that improve people’s lives through technology, particularly in healthcare, accessibility, sustainability, and education.
Arakuaa¶
Arakuaa is a sustainability-driven machine developed to transform plastic bottles into textile fibers. The project combines digital fabrication, circular economy, and engineering design to explore innovative ways of reusing plastic waste and turning it into valuable materials.
Through this project, I worked on ideas related to sustainable production, fabrication processes, and social innovation, with the goal of creating technology that can generate local impact and promote environmentally responsible solutions.
