What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote project engineering role worldwide where I can combine solar PV, electric mobility, simulation, and AI-assisted development. For on-site work, I'm available in Madeira.

At DataMentors, I lead a small team building a digital-twin simulation pipeline that turns real-world environments into virtual replicas for robot teleoperation and AI training data. I build, test, and ship simulation software features end-to-end using AI-assisted development workflows.

Previously, I designed and simulated photovoltaic plants at ETRA Portugal and Helexia Portugal, delivering technical proposals, budgets, performance models, dashboards, and construction support for solar PV, electric mobility, and energy-efficiency projects.
