As the Pentagon’s top pick for military innovation, Jánelle Marina Méndez Viera is excited to introduce U.S. Liberty Military Robotics. In 2023, Méndez Viera joined the United States Patent System as a self-taught hobbyist and made history as she rose to the top of one of the world's most competitive patent systems to be distinguished and recognized as the leading individual military inventor in the United States.

She shattered almost every barrier in the patent system as a Puerto Rican American millennial, service-connected disabled veteran, and working class woman from the Hudson Valley, New York for her groundbreaking advanced regulatory technologies. Her distinction by the United States Department of Defense has led to the establishment of U.S. Liberty Military Robotics formerly known as Liberty Leaf AI.

Financial Defense Inventor Méndez Viera, is a trailblazer whose journey to the top of the patent system is a testament to resilience and determination. Growing up in a conservative Christian home that didn’t support her STEM passions, she emancipated herself and joined the US Marine Corps as a child soldier. There, she faced severe human rights abuses, including sexual violence, torture, retaliation, and harassment, which ignited her lifelong mission to reform the United States Military.

After her service, Méndez Viera took on Wall Street, spending a decade with big names like JPMorgan, Citigroup Global Markets, and Bank of America to learn about the economic interests behind the military. Her experiences provided insider knowledge that fueled her advocacy for military human rights, leading her to launch the Military Sexual Trauma Movement and impact legislation like the Restoration of Honor Act of 2019, the first intersectional military and veterans’ legislation in U.S. history.

By 2022, Jánelle Marina Méndez Viera was awarded the Human Rights Award by the U.S. Institute of Human Rights and Diplomacy in Washington, DC, recognizing her immense contributions to military human rights. The following year, she published groundbreaking academic research focused on the interdisciplinary social sciences, examining the radicalization of boys and men in the military and its connection to global human rights abuses like modern slavery and exploitation.

This research titled, “The Pathway Towards Peace: U.S. Human Rights Manifesto” inspired her transformation into a passionate hobbyist inventor, propelling her to the pinnacle of the patent system as the nation's leading individual military inventor. Now, Financial Defense Inventor Méndez Viera is emerging as a defense contractor, leveraging her innovative technologies to protect and enhance national security and the global financial markets. She is the face of Hexagon leadership, where her expertise in economic defense ushers in a new era of diverse, multidisciplinary command.
