Transforming Ideas into Practical Digital Solutions
Helping your team work smarter, move faster, and discover new opportunities.
With over twenty-five years experience in the automotive industry, manufacturing, engineering, and software development, I understand what matters in real-world operations, speaking the same language as everyone from machine operators to executives, and turning complex challenges into clear, effective digital tools.
My approach is straightforward: listen, collaborate, and deliver results. Whether you want to automate a process, put your data to work, or try new digital tools, I help you turn ideas into real solutions step by step.
Strategic Pillars
Human Judgment First
Digital tools are only valuable when guided by human expertise. I help clients leverage technology where it truly matters, always keeping human judgment, responsibility, and decision-making at the center.
Transversality
I understand priorities across all levels from the shop floor to engineering and IT, designing solutions that bridge teams and anticipate challenges before they arise.
Ethics & Value
Transparency, confidentiality, and long-term value are core to my work. I focus on lasting results and real impact, not quick fixes or billable hours.
Continuous Improvement
Progress comes from learning and adapting together. I share knowledge, build on what works, and refine solutions over time so every project strengthens your team for future challenges.
Practical Innovation
I’m passionate about technologies like 3D visualization, digital twins, AI, and ML, but always as practical tools to solve real problems, never just to follow trends.
Collaboration & Co-Creation
The best solutions are built together. I work closely with clients, combining your expertise with my technical know-how.
Adaptability & Flexibility
No two projects are alike. I adapt my methods and communication style to fit your needs never a one-size-fits-all approach.
International & Multicultural Perspective
Over the past two decades, I’ve built my career across Brazil, Portugal, Germany, and Romania. Each country has shaped how I approach challenges, work with teams, and find practical solutions in different business cultures.
This international path has taught me to adapt quickly, stay curious, and respect diverse perspectives.
I work easily with teams from the shop floor to executives, and thrive in global environments where many languages and backgrounds come together to get things done.
