What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities to innovate in aerospace engineering and collaborate with passionate professionals.

As a Senior Flight Dynamics Modeling Engineer, I have a deep passion for advancing aircraft performance through innovative modeling and analysis. My experience includes developing sophisticated models for aerodynamics-propulsion coupling and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to enhance aircraft efficiency.

Throughout my career, I've contributed to the preliminary design of key aircraft projects, including the KC-390 and Praetor 600 at Embraer. I led the applied aerodynamics team and established semi-empirical and wind tunnel-based databanks, streamlining the databank generation process by 90%.
