Experience

Privilege Residence

https://www.embraed.com.br/pt-BR/blog/confira-a-entrega-do-novo-empreendimento-privilege-residence
Engaged in all phases of the electrical project at a high-standard building, ensuring meticulous planning and execution throughout. My responsibilities included housing an internal substation with two transformers, overseeing all the details of inserting electrical points, running power cables 150 meters high, and automating homes.

IDE Technologies

This is an exciting electrical project for a two-story e-house. A strategy was necessary to make all the interconnections between the panels on the lower and upper floors. I made calculations to meet the lumens desired by the client and carried out a fire detection, access control, and cable routing project.
