About

Tooling and CAD professional with over 25 years of hands-on experience in wire EDM, CNC programming and industrial tooling. I began my career as an AutoCAD draftsman for aluminum extrusion tooling and have since designed and manufactured cutting and bending dies, EDM electrodes, extrusion tools, sintered-part tooling and machining fixtures.

I work with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Pitágoras and Unicam, and I understand how a drawing becomes a real part on the shop floor. That helps me produce accurate, manufacturable 2D drawings and 3D models, with clean dimensioning and attention to tolerances.

I am also a licensed teacher of Mathematics and Geography and am currently studying Data Science (UNIVESP) and Web Development (IFSULDEMINAS), which strengthens my analytical and organizational skills. Intermediate English; I communicate clearly, meet deadlines and welcome feedback and revisions.
