Rodrigo Gouveia
@rodrigogouveia
I design solar PV projects and build digital-twin simulation software for AI and robotics.
What I'm looking for
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.
