Jefferson R.Back-end and Systems Engineer
Skills
Passionate about technology and engineering from a young age, early experiments involved creating electrical circuits that powered light bulbs and motors. This early interest led to enrollment in the competitive Mechatronics Engineering program at the University of Brasília (UnB) in 2006. The coursework included robotics, programming, electronic circuits, and automation. Extracurricular activities included ballroom dance classes, extensive studies in Japanese, participation in the junior company, involvement in the robot soccer team, and contribution to two scientific initiation projects, resulting in the publication of a poster and an article at a conference. The culmination of these efforts was an award for the highest grade in the class and acceptance into a master’s program at the same institution.
The master's program included an exchange to Ukraine to study rocket and satellite construction technologies, where the initial phase of the master’s project began. The project concluded in Brazil, leading to the publication of two articles in international conferences, two in journals, and a book on satellite attitude control systems.
Professional experience includes developing algorithms for a robot used in environmental monitoring in the Amazon, utilizing C/C++, Python, and ROS for programming. Subsequently, expertise expanded through a role that involved contributing to company growth from inception to achieving substantial annual revenue. Responsibilities encompassed coding algorithms in C++, R, and C#, international representation at events, project management, providing support and training, leading teams, engaging in strategic planning, managing departments, and coordinating the opening of new company branches. The multifaceted experience has fostered a flexible, engaged, and committed professional approach dedicated to the success of the company, projects, and clients.
