About
I joined the Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Coimbra in 2008, with a degree in Mechanical Engineering (post-Bologna). Concludes, at the same institution, the Master in Mechanical Systems and Equipment in 2013, in a total of 5 years of academic career. Associativism was not left out: I joined the Orxestra Pitagórica and was a founding member of the Tuna Académica of the institution where I studied (ISECOTUNA).
I was awarded two FCT Research Grants, one in 2013 which focused on the mechanical properties of composite materials, combined forces and interlaminar fracture, another in 2014 in the context of the structural integrity of aeronautical light alloys (propagation of fatigue cracks, overloads, crack closure phenomenon and its measurement by DIC – Digital Image Correlation).
I was involved in the Vehicle Transformation Industry, in an ambitious project called TecLife, where I played the role of Production Engineer during a year of great growth and maturation for the company.
I continued to work in the automotive area, belonging to the logistics team at Gestamp Vendas Novas, an international group dedicated to the design, development and manufacture of metallic components and assemblies for the automotive industry, with Volkswagen Autoeuropa as its main customer. Given the scope of projects in which I was involved, I acquired solid knowledge in terms of Supply Chain Management, having followed an intense period of growth in production activity, industrialization and adjudication of new projects, always following the Industry 4.0 model.
I also played the role of Project Designer at SIRMAF, where I was responsible for the construction project and conversion of special robotic machines for the automotive industry. I also prepared 3D and 2D CAD, specifications, instruction manuals, risk analysis, preventive maintenance tables, etc.
I also developed methods and time optimization projects at Paul Stricker, and actively participated in the training of new employees.
After some accumulated experience, I continued to develop my career as a Designer Designer at Indusstock, where I was also responsible for the production department.
I am currently part of the Riatrónica team, being the Mechanical Project Manager.
