I am a highly skilled Agronomist with a strong background in Precision Agriculture. I hold a degree in Agronomic Engineering from the Universidade Estadual do Tocantins and have specialized in Precision Agriculture and Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition. My experience includes working in the commercial sector of Digital Agriculture and digital platforms for agribusiness, where I have been involved in the production of fertility maps and variable rate application, remote sensing, QGis, SMS AgLeader, Google Earth, and similar software.

I have also gained extensive experience in consulting, soil collection, and agricultural research. My knowledge extends to the cultivation of soybeans and corn, as well as application technology and soil fertility.

In my commercial roles, I have excelled in prospecting clients, presenting products/services, negotiating, selling, and providing post-sales support. I am skilled in training and assisting clients in the use, optimization, and maintenance of the platforms I work with.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in piloting multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones for aerial mapping, as well as expertise in the systematic mapping of areas for planting and spraying. I am passionate about leveraging technology to optimize agricultural practices and improve productivity.
