Message

At ACWIN Portugal, I prepare and correct production files using LogiKal and ReynaPro, and support the factory with machining parameters, dimensional adjustments, technical issues, and operator training.

At R.P.J.M. Solutions 4.0, I programmed and operated 3- and 5-axis machining centres and oversaw production through to finished parts. Earlier, at MILLMAJ, I progressed from trainee to CNC programmer and led a 14-person team; I also taught Fusion 360 and Mastercam through independent and company training.
