Experienced aerospace and software engineering professional with a strong background in advanced aviation systems, electric propulsion, controls engineering, telemetry, simulation, and high-performance operations. Proven track record leading multidisciplinary technical teams across both aviation and motorsport environments, combining hands-on engineering capability with systems-level thinking and program leadership.
Extensive experience in electric and hybrid aviation programs, including control systems architecture, embedded software, battery management systems (BMS), propulsion control, hardware/software integration, verification and validation, and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Skilled in requirements decomposition, safety-critical development processes, CAN/Ethernet communications, HIL and iron-bird testing, telemetry systems, and integration of complex aerospace platforms.
In motorsports, contributed to elite-level international competition environments, including technical management, telemetry and data systems, simulation development, operational support, and performance analysis. Experience includes development of custom simulation frameworks, real-time data acquisition systems, remote telemetry architectures, and high-risk operational planning support for world-class aviation and motorsport projects.
Strong expertise bridging software, electronics, systems engineering, and operations, with the ability to translate complex technical challenges into practical, reliable solutions under demanding schedules and performance constraints. Comfortable operating from early concept and R&D phases through integration, testing, certification-oriented activities, and live operational environments.

Core competencies include:
Electric propulsion and aviation systems; Flight controls and embedded software; Telemetry and data systems; MBSE and requirements management; CAN, Ethernet, and distributed architectures; HIL, iron-bird, and integration testing; Aerospace simulation and visualization; Technical leadership and cross-functional coordination; Motorsport engineering operations; Safety-critical systems development; Rapid prototyping and troubleshooting; Program and technical strategy supportOver the last two decades of his career and beyond, he has focused extensively on training and coaching. During this period, he became involved in a new syndicate operation in Portugal, which ultimately evolved into the Air Race Championship, a competition now positioned to expand across new European locations in the coming years
