Energy access for peri-urban communities in Harare, Zimbabwe, provided by innovative solar PV and batteries grid-connected mini-grids.- Led pilot project feasibility study, working with students and external consultants to design an utility-scale grid-connected mini-grid network for a community in Harare South.- Currentyly developing commercial project. Working with external consultants on technical feasibility study, supporting business development and project management activities.

RiDERgy efficiently electrifies and manages fleets charging, accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles and 100% renewable electricity while achieving lower costs and less environmental impact.- Worked as right-hand of the CEO, helping early-stage start-up close its first commercial project. - Performed activities related to business development (sales, accelerators, strategic partnerships, marketing), fundraising, product development and team building.- Engaged with potential clients and partners to identify project and collaboration opportunities, performing energy systems and market studies.

- Lead the operation of 4 units (3 production plants and 1 gas-fired boiler, running 24/7) with focus on delivering quality products, production rates, and keeping plant uptime high. - Had a central position in the plant, collaborating with Maintenance, Engineering, Technology, Safety, Quality Control and Supply Chain teams daily.- Lead a team of 6 shift supervisors (that were responsible for over 70 operators) and 2 interns.- Experience with industry standards: FSSC22000, ISO14001, as well as DuPont's Process Safety Management (PSM) and Safety best practices.

- Identified process variations that lead to inefficiencies in product quality, plant uptime and productivity, and proposed improvements in process control logics and process technology.- Developed 2 new product technology process in industrial scale, in collaboration with R+D and Commercial teams.- Designed and executed projects in industrial environment, managing Engineering subcontractors (civil, electric, instrumentation, mechanic, control) during Engineering, Procurement and Construction, and Comissioning.

- Analyzed process data, aiming to identify opportunities to increase plant uptime, product quality and productivity. - Developed a data-driven tool for operators to react to product quality deviations.- Helped design and implement process control logics for DCS update project (hardware and software).

- 3 months research placement doing initial experiments on the catalytical oxidation of Lignin derived compounds to produce biofuels using gold catalysts. - Research project was the final part of a Brazilian Government exchange program and supported a PhD study being carried in the Chemical Engineering Department.
