Paula discovered her two passions—IoT and LoRaWAN technology—during her Master’s in Mechatronics, where her thesis focused on designing a LoRaWAN sensor node and building its supporting network. These were her foundational steps into the Internet of Things. Since then, she has built her career in an international environment, gaining experience across different countries and projects. As a Researcher in IoT technologies in Spain, Paula worked on sensor node development and industrial applications of LoRaWAN. She later moved into the field of robotics and AI in Germany, where she developed prototypes, new functionalities, and IoT-based interactions to connect robots with the cloud. Today, as a Technical Account Manager at Loriot (Valencia, Spain), Paula dedicates her work fully to LoRaWAN technology, collaborating with international clients to deploy IoT solutions in areas such as smart cities, smart metering, and large-scale connectivity projects. At the intersection of her two passions—IoT and LoRaWAN—Paula thrives on supporting organizations to innovate and scale their solutions globally.
