Military experience
Military professional with nearly nine years of service in the Brazilian Navy, specializing in Additive Manufacturing 3D Printing, advanced maintenance of naval and operational assets, and technological innovation in defense environments. I was directly involved in pioneering the implementation of 3D printing within the Brazilian Navy, including the creation of the first military additive manufacturing laboratory, integrating CAD CAM CAE, CNC machining, electronics, and mechatronics to support operational readiness. My work enabled rapid prototyping, field ready part replacement, tooling fabrication, and custom solutions for military equipment, significantly reducing logistics dependency and downtime and providing a critical capability in conflict and wartime scenarios. During the COVID 19 crisis, I contributed to industrial scale additive manufacturing of protective equipment, applying military engineering resources to national emergency response, and I also participated in the development of a UV C radiation emitting device, combining mechanical design, electronics, and systems integration for bio defense applications. My experience includes maintenance and integration of high complexity naval systems, including work environments associated with strategic assets, where precision, reliability, and strict quality control are mandatory. I have extensive hands on experience as a mechanic of naval and operational means, performing structural repairs, mechanical overhauls, component integration, and technical improvements under operational constraints. In addition, I possess experience with unmanned aerial systems drones, including maintenance, component adaptation, and the application of emerging technologies to support surveillance, inspection, and operational support missions aligned with modern asymmetric warfare and battlefield innovation concepts. My professional profile combines military discipline, engineering rigor, and an innovation mindset, with a strong focus on additive manufacturing for defense and logistics resilience, rapid repair and fabrication in austere or combat environments, maintenance of naval, mechanical, and operational systems, integration of drones and emerging technologies into military operations, and engineering support for defense, warfare, and crisis response scenarios, enabling effective performance in high risk and high reliability environments where technology, adaptability, and engineering excellence are decisive factors for mission success.
