Passionate about Portuguese geology, I am a geologist holding a master's degree in Geology and Geosciences from the University of Minho. With over a year of experience in production management at Filstone, a prominent company in the limestone and granite extraction and marketing sector, I have demonstrated a commitment to advancing the industry through innovative practices.During my tenure at Filstone, I played a key role in enhancing productivity and reducing operational costs. My contributions included implementing fuel management strategies, conducting cost analyses, and devising savings initiatives. Additionally, I conducted extensive studies on rock fracturing, core samples, and helped with ground-penetrating radar studies to optimize quarry operations, resulting in a remarkable 10% decrease in material waste.Proficient in software tools such as AutoCAD, Civil3D, QGIS, and PIX4D, I utilize these skills for topographic surveys with drones and the creation of precise geological models. My proficiency in Excel enhances data analysis and statistics, providing valuable insights for decision-making processes.Thriven by values such as teamwork, problem-solving, and time management, I am a versatile, adaptable, and flexible professional. My experience extends beyond the geological realm, encompassing advanced skills in Microsoft Office tools, R, Python, and Photoshop. As a passionate photographer, I bring a creative perspective to my work.My overarching goal is to continually develop my skills and knowledge in geology and production, contributing to the growth and sustainability of the minereal and stone industry.
