Summary
Mechatronic Engineer with 7 years of experience in data analysis and risk management in the sports technology industry (DraftKings, Genius Sports, Sports IQ). I have stood out for my ability to make quick and effective decisions based on data, even under high pressure. I possess strong communication skills and charisma, which has allowed me to explain technical information to non-specialist audiences and lead high-performance teams. In addition to my technical background, I have a results-oriented commercial profile; during university, I started a small sales business, demonstrating proactivity and the ability to identify opportunities and turn them into business. I am ready to apply this combination of analytical thinking, decision-making, and interpersonal skills in acquiring clients and selling software solutions.
