Resume
Passionate about Mechanical Engineering, I let myself be conquered by the area of electronics, especially instrumentation, a theme that I am especially sensitive and interested. To meet this personal challenge, the need for knowledge of automation and robotics took me to a new University in another city, where I learned new things and had new experiences.
As an engineer I consider myself quite versatile: I combine knowledge of mechanics, electronics and programming combining technical knowledge and focus on problem solving with responsibility, determination, and commitment.
