About
Mechanical Engineer specializing in HVAC estimating, quantity takeoffs, technical documentation, and AutoCAD-based drawing review. I bring 15+ years of progressive experience across field operations, project coordination, budgeting, proposals, and mechanical systems, beginning with technical internships in 2009.
I support contractors, engineering firms, and design teams with:
• HVAC quantity takeoffs from PDF or DWG drawings
• Ductwork, piping, equipment, and accessory schedules
• Drawing and specification reviews with RFIs, assumptions, and exclusions
• AutoCAD drawing updates based on markups
• Scope organization, bills of quantities, and technical documentation
My project experience includes commercial and healthcare facilities, VRF/VRV systems, chilled-water systems, mechanical ventilation, and multidisciplinary coordination. I work carefully, communicate clearly, and provide organized deliverables that are easy to review and price.
I am based in Brazil, fluent in English and Portuguese, and available for remote projects aligned with U.S. business hours. Services are provided as technical support and do not include professional stamps, permit approval, ART, or Engineer-of-Record responsibility.
