Q&A

What AI tools do you use the most?

Post·2w ago

Most of my side projects used to end at a dashboard. Pretty charts, a Power BI file, a few numbers nobody acted on. Lately I've been using Claude and Codex to get past that point.

At my current company I built a corporate emission BIN simulator that the Strategic Planning team and the Executive Board actually use. With AI tools handling the scaffolding and data plumbing, I could spend my time on what matters: regulatory limits, cost curves, what a 2028 contract renewal means for our plants.

The test I use now is simple. Can someone make a decision with it? If not, it's still a dashboard.

What are your biggest strengths?

Post·2w ago

I've always been curious by nature. That curiosity is what pushed me to take apart components of classic Dodge, Ford and Buick cars in my family's workshop, no manual, just trying to understand why each part had been designed the way it was. Reverse engineering is stubbornness with a method.

I never gave up easily, and that mattered more than I expected. I moved from restoration into homologation and regulatory compliance, then into strategic planning at HPE Automotores, where I built an emissions simulator that the executive board now uses. Each change felt like starting over, but I always carried with me what I had learned before.

Now I'm doing a Master's in Nuclear Technology focused on hydrogen fuel cells, while working at the same time. It's exhausting, yes. But the right question is usually worth the search for the answer.

Projects
C
Corporate Emission BIN Simulator
Internal emissions model for Strategic Planning
Developed the BIN simulator used by Strategic Planning and the Executive Board to model corporate emissions.
C
CAFE Energy Efficiency Model
Energy efficiency model for CAFE projections
Created energy efficiency models supporting CAFE projections and investment decision support.
E
Energy Strategy for the Catalão Plant
Techno-economic study of electricity supply alternatives for the 2028 contract renewal
Led the comparison of the Free Market baseline with self-production by equivalence (APE) and solar generation (7 MWp), including NPV (15/25-year) and hedge analysis. The goal was to reduce TUSD and sector charges for a planned factory expansion.
S
Substation Upgrade Project
Evaluation of the A4 to A2 substation upgrade as an energy-cost reduction front
Evaluated the A4 to A2 substation upgrade as a complementary energy-cost reduction measure, integrated with the APE and solar studies.
