When I was little, my mom used to say I would be an inventor. It turned out I became an engineer. I like understanding and making sense of complex things. I am also the queen of documentaries. Every once in a while I will binge watch many videos about a specific topic. I recently spent around two weeks looking into mushroom production!
I am very passionate about aquaponics and did my master's regarding this. I am currently in my doctorate digging a bit deeper into it and want to make a practical tool for people to use. Feel free to contact me if you are curious!
In work I tend to try to automate things. I learned MsAccess so that I wouldn't have to do repetitive work when I was a trainee. Ever since then I have learned R, Python and other programming stuff (I made this site by myself using html).
I want to eventually join/create an incubator for sustainable business benefiting from sinergies - connecting "wastes" to inputs. The idea is to start with eager young people (not only in university, but even earlier, from poor communities) and create an innovation hub that creates working companies.
Currently working as Supply Chain Design COE Modelling Manager for Cargill where I lead and create optimizations to aid in business' decision-making process. I previously worked as the senior specialist that created the Asset Footprint area at Yara Brasil, modelling and analyzing the logistics and production network for investments and divestments and Mergers and Acquisitions.
Previously worked as a senior business consultant in value chain planning and performance improvement. We integrated planning process from the strategy to the execution.
