I started a managerial career as Director of Operations, looking for new projects and clients in the Americas.In Peru, we offered engineering and management services, as well as EPC, EPCM and turn-key implementation projects.Later on, I assumed a coordination role in Oil & Gas projects for the company in Brazil, as foreign operations were still developing.

I taught Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer Fundamentals, Physics I and Mass and Energy Balances for the Environmental Management, Food Processing and Chemical Engineering courses.

I developed process activities, such as process flow diagrams, equipment specifications and data sheets, plant start-up, plant ramp up, field inspections, and so on.I worked in the following projects: Onca Puma (basic engineering and EPCM), Petrobras delayed coker yard (feasibility study), Americano do Brasil Ni-Cu-Co concentration plant (plant start-up and ramp up), Tocantins FeNi project (EPCM), and Moa Occidental ferronickel project (feasibility study and basic engineering).

I started teaching English, but eventually I developed and left the company under the position of Pedagogical Coordinator, handling tasks such as HR and training.

MGA provides consulting services for mid-sized mining companies, mainly around the São Paulo state in Brazil.

COESF (formerly named FUNDUSP) is the organism that endeavors better arrangement of the physical space made available for the USP activities to be carried out.
