About Me

I'm doctoral student at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and University of Windsor, Canada. I finished my master and undergraduate in civil engineering at the State University of Maringa, Brazil, in 2011 and 2015, respectively. In 2018 I was visitor researcher at University of Ottawa, Canada. In 2019, I was Research Associate at University of Windsor. I have industry experience on building construction, structural design, BIM application and forensic engineer. I founded and led for a few years BRAVO EA (construction and engineering consulting company in Brazil). Currently I lead the Hone Structures team into the Autodesk Residency Program (Toronto and Boston).

I'm a very musical person. I use to play drums for fun and listen a lot music, like rock, jazz and blues.
I'm easygoing and I love to learn.
