What I'm looking for

I’m looking to start an international career where technical expertise, responsibility, and continuous learning are valued.

At KU Leuven - UHasselt, I completed a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering, specializing in Chemical Engineering. My coursework included micromixing characterization and reactor mixing performance.

During my Chemical Engineering studies at KU Leuven - UHasselt and Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), I gained experience with practical engineering projects and studied in an international academic environment.

My technical skills include chemical process analysis and process optimization, along with programming in Python, Java, Arduino, Mathlab, and Aspen.

From 2021 to 2024, I was a Youth Leader at Chiro, where I led and supervised groups and organized activities and events. I’m looking to begin an international career where technical expertise, responsibility, and continuous learning are valued.
