Welcome, André!

André Basilio Vela comes to MEDATech from Resemin, a major mining-equipment manufacturer (and MEDATech customer) based in Lima, Peru. He and his wife Heydee Gonzales, also an engineer, are enjoying their new life in Canada…although they have not yet experienced winter!

At Resemin, André was Head of Research and Development. Previous roles at the company include Electrification Lead and Senior Electrohydraulic Developer. With a Master’s in Mechatronics Engineering, André is a valuable addition to the MEDATech Controls team, where he is currently Intermediate Controls Engineer. 

In his leisure time, André likes going to the swimming pool, jogging, and sharing outstanding moments with his wife and friends. Seeing Niagara Falls was a recent highlight. 

“Working at MEDATech as Control Engineer is a remarkable experience in my professional life; I am gaining great insights,” says Basilio. “The multi-disciplinary engineering projects are helping me to keep improving my technical skills.”

Basilio finds Collingwood “a charming town to live in, safe, friendly and tourist-friendly.” Currently it’s summer and Basilio is enjoying the beaches of Georgian Bay. His stretch goal is to enjoy winter sports—new to him—on snow at Blue Mountain. “People here are always kind, friendly, and they are willing to help you with the things that you need. It’s a good atmosphere.” 

Welcome André! We hope you like winter as much as the rest of us.
