Mechanical Engineer from UNESP, with solid experience in numerical modeling and simulation applied to well engineering, specializing in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using open-source tools such as OpenFOAM. Since 2021, has been working at WIKKI Brasil, initially as an intern and later as a CAE Engineer, assuming direct technical responsibility for the development, validation, and maintenance of numerical solvers and advanced codes focused on porous media flows and well-reservoir coupling. Leads rigorous physical and numerical validation testing, continuously performing debugging, optimization, and code refactoring with emphasis on stability, accuracy, and computational performance.Responsible for the design and implementation of robust computational workflows, integrating automation and CI/CD practices to ensure continuous improvement, greater efficiency, and reproducibility of results. Actively participates in strategic RD projects in the oil and gas sector, particularly those involving the technical and operational demands of Petrobras, contributing directly to detailed technical analyses and customization of computational tools tailored to the specific challenges of the Brazilian petroleum industry.Co-author of an international scientific publication that highlights the technical developments carried out within Petrobras-related projects, demonstrating that the proposed and implemented solutions have global technical relevance. Additionally, has a consistent record of participation in high-level technical conferences focused on numerical simulation.His work stands out for a high level of technical expertise, proven ability to solve complex problems independently and responsibly, and the delivery of results aligned with Petrobras's technical and strategic expectations.
