About Luis Duran
I am a mechatronic engineer with over 10 years experience in the automotive industry, designing vehicle interiors. I recently moved to California to work in the new, exciting cars of the future. I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of the industry and shape the future of automobiles for the next few decades. I’m always looking to challenge the status quo and improve processes and technologies to deliver \"Great\" products. In my free time, I like to do travel photography. Searching for new places, cultures, and ways of thinking.
