I developed a reusable 3D-printed cardiac surgery training model with Coimbra University Hospital and CEMMPRE, combining a rigid printed cardiac skeleton with disposable moulded valves for low-cost, repeatable surgical practice.

I reconstructed heart anatomy from CT/MRI data, processed meshes in 3D Slicer, InVesalius, MeshMixer and Geomagic, and built assemblies in Autodesk Inventor. I also dissected ex vivo pig hearts, calibrated casting materials against tissue properties, and designed suture tests to validate failure behaviour alongside cardiac surgeons and cardiologists.

At Subsea7, I coordinate multidisciplinary engineering, design and logistics teams to plan and execute subsea installations, while producing technical documentation that supports safe, on-time offshore execution.

Previously at TechnipFMC, I managed Brazilian-market projects and offshore recovery campaigns, applied Six Sigma Yellow Belt methods to remove bottlenecks, and began developing a Python script to reduce project start-up time. I’m now looking to return to cardiovascular research and build on my experimental, imaging and mechanical-testing background in cardiac tissue research.
