I always tried to improve my career not only through personal achievements at my former positions, but at my current job too. When possible, I also try to enhance my technical and basic management skills working as a consultant or freelancer in small projects related to software development & testing as well as electrical and electronics engineering.My DREAM JOB: to work in a company's R&D; division and at the same time to get a PhD degree. I strong believe that this would be a win-win situation (for me and my employer)!My preferred field of work or research is software development related to electronics engineering (instrumentation & measurement, industrial automation, etc), real-time computing (embedded, real-time and distributed systems) robotics (healthcare, artificial intelligence, etc) and semiconductors (photo-lithography).I have a M.Sc. degree in Electronics Instrumentation (after graduating in Electrical and Electronics Engineering), reasonable working experience in a lot of different places as well as some flexibility in working and getting along with people from completely different cultures.Being born in Brazil, with family roots in Italy & Germany, and married to a Japanese woman (and living in Japan for fifteen years), I feel very comfortable when working and socializing with people from different backgrounds.Besides Portuguese, I can understand English and Spanish easily and also intermediate Japanese language (recently started learning German too).I am always available to discuss new opportunities related to consulting, scientific research, freelance work or even a permanent full-position (inside Japan OR abroad). Feel free to contact me if needed (NOTE: I hold a Japanese Permanent Resident Visa).
