With a passion for making and engineering, Anibal considers himself an artist and an engineer. Born in Puerto Rico, he has lived all life on the island and when the time came for choosing a university he decided to stay in his home ground for the love he has of his place of birth.</span>
<span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At UPRM Anibal got involved with the only makerspace in campus and its main association Idea Platform. There he got involved with the maker community ''Empower3D''(which he now currently directs) and the I&E Ecosystem of the University. Because of his involvement with both communities, it was a natural decision for him to want to join the UIF program when the opportunity appeared. </span>
