What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging remote role in R&D or product development where I can leverage my skills to drive innovation and contribute to impactful projects.

I am an Electrical and Software Engineer with over 7 years of programming experience, specializing in full-stack embedded systems and EV charging technology. My expertise lies in devising, architecting, and deploying production-grade solutions, from research and development to standard operating procedures in manufacturing. I have a proven track record of enhancing system architectures and implementing innovative solutions that drive efficiency and performance.

In my recent role at WEG, I led the development of a second-generation Smart EV Charging System, improving communication and power control across multiple EVSEs. My work involved architecting a production-grade system on i.MX8 using Python, which featured real-time communication and dynamic power management. Additionally, my research at the Federal University of Santa Maria focused on advanced battery modeling, significantly improving estimation accuracy and reducing computational costs.
