What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a job I can do remotely in my professional expertise, that can give me a good income and also the possibility of integration in the future, when I finish my masters degree.

At Zhejiang University, I’m developing an autonomous hexapod robot for underground inspection. I designed its distributed control architecture around a Raspberry Pi 5 and STM32, with control for 18 servo motors.

I’ve integrated sensors including an IMU, rotary encoders, and LiDAR, and I’m investigating computer vision and YOLO-based defect detection for autonomous navigation.

At Costo Intralogistics Systems S.A., I designed electrical schematics and prepared bills of materials for industrial automation systems. I also programmed SICK sensors and commissioned electrical systems and equipment in Germany.

At Grupel S.A. and Riatrónica – Industrial Mechatronics, Lda., I developed electrical schematics and PLC software, and supported commissioning work. My projects also include an SPI-based encoder acquisition PCB and a modular electrical power system architecture for small satellites.
