Data Engineer

I am a Mechanical Engineer, graduated from the University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, with both an undergrad and graduate degree. In my graduate journey, I spent some time as a Marketing Manager at the university mechanical engineering Junior enterprise where I mostly learned how to be proactive. Later on, following a growing passion for CAD design, I joined a research lab as a an assistant, designing CAD parts for stress measurement systems. After that, I realized a knowledge gap in thermodynamics, so I changed to the Refrigeration lab, in order to fill this gap. There I stayed until receiving my degree, however the most interesting part is that there I began my journey to become a developer, deep diving into python and LaTeX languages.

In spite of my coding passion, I kept on with the Engineering degree and thermodynamic studies, since that was also interesting and seemed like the natural path. Nonetheless, I was carried to the coding world by always being involved in simulation activities, which I quite enjoyed. After my internship, I joined the Post-Graduate program in the university and ended up coding a library for transient simulation of household refrigeration units (my dissertation...) in Modelica language, which was a main challenge since I had zero starting knowledge of the language and, by that time, was not used to (at all) with OO-programming.

Hobbies

I like outdoor activities, such as hiking, enjoying the beach and playing some sports, like tennis or volleyball.

Lately, I have developed a coffee passion, which has become a hobby itself. I like to buy green coffee beans and roast them myself, therefore achieving lighter roasts (which have more complex flavors - and less bitterness), and also using the roasted beans fresh, which helps obtain these complex flavors more intensely.
