My work focuses on exponentially designing integrated energy and aeronautical technologies while optimizing manufacturing processes through advanced robotics and automation systems. I specialize in the development and financial structuring of battery energy storage technologies and state-of-the-art aeronautical systems.
I architect HOOP Technologies as a Service, applying aerospace design principles as a general concept with rigorous skills benchmarking to drive current equipment design and production workflows. Beyond engineering, my interests lie in production-grade smart contract programming on blockchain platforms and tokens (Polygon and Solana) to automate structured trade finance and Power Purchase Agreement frameworks.
This systems-level approach is grounded in rigorous academic training from the MIT Portugal Program in Sustainable Energy Systems at Instituto Superior Técnico, with focused coursework in smart grids, multi-objective optimization, life-cycle assessment, and renewables generation integration. These foundations were further strengthened by my Political Economy training at Juniata College, which sharpened my critical thinking skills. I have applied this expertise through my work at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), structuring industrial energy efficiency programs for SMEs, municipal street lighting debt facilities (including Green Climate Fund-backed LED modernization projects in Brazil and Argentina), distributed generation initiatives, and radio-electrical spectrum securitization efforts across Latin America and Southeast Asia to mobilize institutional capital and enhance grid reliability. At Amazon, I led energy auditing and optimization programs for AWS data centers and manufacturing operations while delivering risk management consulting to public market companies, developing advanced weather hazard risk models for real estate portfolios and enterprise risk management frameworks to support portfolio management strategies in the data center and manufacturing sectors.
