What I'm looking for

I seek roles in SCADA or commissioning within renewable energy or transmission teams, focusing on integration, testing, and system evolution in collaborative, technical environments.

I am a SCADA consultant and electrical engineer with hands-on experience in SCADA development, commissioning, and integration for renewable energy projects and transmission networks. I currently provide services for EDP Renewables in Portugal, focusing on integration and acceptance tests for photovoltaic power plants.

My background includes development and configuration of HMIs and communication drivers, modeling advanced data structures, and executing FAT/SAT and site integration tests for vendors such as GPM, Isotrol, Automa and central systems like SCATEX. I have practical experience with SCADA platforms including Elipse Power, Elipse E3, GPM, Isotrol, Automa and SCATEX and communication protocols such as IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus and OPC UA.

I am results-driven and experienced across the full project lifecycle from planning and design to commissioning and operational support, with prior roles in post-operation, standardization, and engineering internships that strengthened my technical, reporting and operational skills.
