Bridging technical excellence with strategic business growth through 20+ years of analog IC design expertise and MBA studies.

About Me

I'm an experienced analog IC design engineer driven by a simple belief: mastering innovation and technology with excellence, ambition, and impact. With over 20 years in the semiconductor industry, I've learned that the most breakthrough innovations happen when technical excellence meets strategic thinking and strong leadership.

My journey has taken me across continents—from designing ultra-low-power IoT solutions in Portugal to developing cutting-edge sensors for the oil and gas industry in the breathtaking fjords of Norway, and creating precision audio systems in Denmark. Each experience has shaped not just my technical expertise, but my understanding of how engineering excellence can drive real-world impact.

What truly energizes me is building teams and fostering innovation. When I joined Nanopower Semiconductor, there was no engineering team—just an ambitious vision. I built a high-performing team of 7 engineers from scratch, and together we delivered breakthrough integrated circuits that redefine energy efficiency in microelectronics. It taught me that innovation isn't just about ideas—it's about the people who make them reality.

Currently pursuing an Executive MBA, I'm passionate about bridging the gap between deep technical knowledge and strategic business growth. My goal is to drive innovation that not only pushes technological boundaries but creates meaningful impact for businesses and society.

Beyond engineering, I'm guided by strong values of ethics, honesty, and respect—principles that shape how I lead teams, approach challenges, and build lasting relationships in this ever-evolving industry.
