Technical knowledgevalidated in practice

My journey in the agricultural sector began in 2001, working on irrigation system automation projects for the Brazilian Federal Government in partnership with the State Government of Paraíba. Later, I carried out automation projects and works for the agricultural sector throughout Brazil. This experience showed me the real challenges producers face daily and sparked my passion for finding solutions.

My training as an Electrical Technician (1988), Electronics Technician (1992), Systems Analyst and Developer (2008), Project Management Specialist (2011), followed by a Master's in Electrical Engineering and Computing focused on Automation, Robotics and Mechatronics, brought a great transformation to my life.

I worked as a professor at two Federal Universities: IFPB and UFRN. However, it was my practical experience in the industrial and agroindustrial area, working for more than 20 machinery industries, 05 manufacturers of electrical equipment and products, as well as participating in the construction and assembly of more than 80 industries and agroindustries in Brazil, that taught me to apply and adapt all existing theory to the reality of the Brazilian countryside.

Today, my mission is to democratize access to technology for producers of all sizes. I believe that innovation is not a privilege of large companies – it is the right of every producer who wants to grow sustainably and competitively, contributing to local and regional development, as well as generating employment and income, supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation measures.
