About
"Vision like an eagle for strategic solutions; precision in technical execution."
I am a PMP®-certified Project Manager and Senior ICT Specialist with over a decade of experience driving operational excellence across the Mining, Energy, and Construction sectors. I operate with a hybrid profile that combines deep technical infrastructure expertise with a "high-altitude" strategic perspective, allowing me to oversee complex project landscapes while maintaining a sharp focus on the data that drives business value.
Strategic Core Competencies
My approach is built on four pillars of Agile Value Delivery and Industrial Innovation:
Strategic Value Delivery: I align ICT modernization with organizational goals to deliver high-impact results, evidenced by a 60% reduction in operational failures and a 35% increase in asset availability.
Business Collaboration: I bridge the gap between technical teams and stakeholders to create seamless workflows, utilizing ERP/CMMS (SAP MM) and real-time monitoring to optimize supply chains.
Team Dynamics & Culture: I lead multidisciplinary, multicultural teams with a focus on reliability and safety-critical compliance, managing projects across both Waterfall and Agile methodologies.
Continuous Learning & Retrospectives: I leverage Generative AI, IoT telemetry (CAT VisionLink), and predictive analytics to move organizations from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven performance.
Selected Career Milestones
Industrial IoT Leadership: Integrated CAT VisionLink telemetry for 70+ heavy machines, enabling real-time analytics and predictive maintenance.
Digital Transformation: Built remote-learning platforms and automated administrative workflows for 600+ users, reducing disruptions by 80%.
Infrastructure Optimization: Streamlined site operations and network infrastructure to improve operational efficiency by 30% in large-scale engineering projects.
Thought Leadership & Global Mobility
I am a published author and an active member of the IEEE, PMI Angola Chapter, and Ordem dos Engenheiros de Angola (OEA). Committed to advancing global engineering standards, I am prepared to relocate internationally to lead digital transformation initiatives that require a blend of technical mastery and strategic foresight.
