My job is very dynamic and challenging, which makes it very exciting. Additionally, the work environment is also excellent, and the leaders are very open-minded and supportive.

I’m 34, married, and father of two little girls. I am open-minded and like to learn new things and take on new challenges. I’m also really into sports and music. I was born in a small town in the countryside, in the state of Minas Gerais, called Arcos, where my first job was working with my father in a car workshop. My professional background is in electrical and industrial automation, and I have past work experience as a teacher at a technical school and the local cement industry in my hometown.
