Engineer with 5+ years of experience at Vestas (global Wind Energy leader) and CaetanoBus, bridging the gap between complex technical systems and the people who use them. Comfortable translating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, diagnosing integration issues, and designing workflows that solve real business problems. Looking to bring this technical depth and communication ability into a Solutions Engineer role — helping clients get maximum value from products and platforms.

Lead Software Engineer at Vestas (2024-09 – 2026-01)

Technical lead for internal diagnostic and data tools used by turbine operations teams globally — acting as the bridge between engineering and end users, diagnosing integration issues and improving how teams interact with complex systems.

• Served as the go-to technical contact for internal teams, translating complex system behaviour into clear, actionable explanations for non-technical stakeholders.
• Diagnosed and resolved critical integration issues early in the release cycle, reducing late-stage failures by ~25% and improving client-side confidence in tooling.
• Designed and delivered automated validation workflows for diagnostic tools — reducing manual effort by ~30% and improving tool reliability for end users.
• Developed simulation environments to reproduce field scenarios, enabling faster root cause analysis and earlier detection of critical failures.
• Reported technical status and risk clearly to management, maintaining trust and alignment across multiple workstreams.

Software Engineer, Assistant Lead at Vestas (2022-07 – 2024-09)

Acted as internal solutions specialist and process owner — identifying workflow inefficiencies, proposing tooling improvements, and enabling teams to work faster and with fewer errors.

• Identified and solved recurring pain points in the development workflow, cutting feature setup time by ~40% through standardized libraries and reusable components.
• Explained and demonstrated new tooling to engineering teams, driving adoption through hands-on workshops and documentation.
• Automated documentation generation, saving ~50% of sprint documentation hours and ensuring specs were always current for stakeholders.
• Implemented CI/CD pipeline improvements in Jenkins, achieving ~80% test coverage on critical paths and increasing release confidence.
• Reduced team merge conflicts by ~30% by designing and communicating clearer Git workflows across the team.

Energy Optimization Engineer at CaetanoBus (2019-05 – 2022-06)

Built and delivered a technical decision-support tool used directly by management and commercial teams — combining engineering depth with clear communication to influence real business outcomes.

• Designed and demonstrated a simulation tool (GUI + MATLAB/Simulink) to management and commercial stakeholders, enabling data-driven decisions on tenders and system efficiency.
• Translated complex vehicle energy system behaviour into clear reports and fleet TCO analyses used at executive level.
• Contributed to Portugal's first hydrogen bus project — acting as technical liaison between engineering, hardware, and management teams.
• Provided real-time monitoring and problem-solving support, coordinating across teams to resolve field issues quickly.
