02 / Background

15+ years

I’m Derek Diaz Correa, based in Puerto Rico. I joined Plus One Robotics in 2020 after six years in software development and systems integration at USAA.

My work at Plus One spans system architecture, distributed services, operator interfaces, and observability. I work across technical direction and implementation, including the recovery workflows engineers and operators need when systems fail.

I also co-founded and developed Scienteer, software for students, teachers, and science-fair organizers.
