Mechanical Engineering (IPRJ-UERJ) — Avionics/Telemetry Sector Manager at Serra Rocketry
I build embedded systems and mission-critical software for rockets and satellites. My work spans the full stack of a flight mission: from the firmware running on an ESP32 in a spinning PocketQube, through LoRa telemetry downlinks, to the ground station WebUI and the data analysis pipeline that turns raw CSV into certified motor classifications.
Day to day I work with C/C++ on ESP32 (FreeRTOS, FSM, RTOS), Python (RocketPy, Flask, NumPy, Pandas), Laravel/PHP for web platforms, and BI tools (Spotfire, Power BI) for turning engineering and mission data into dashboards that drive decisions. I'm a member of the RocketPy-Team LibDev — contributing to the open-source 6-DOF trajectory simulation library used worldwide.
I care about determinism, testability, and fault tolerance. Every design decision passes through three filters: compliance (rules/safety), Murphy (redundancy, no single points of failure), and time (can we actually build, integrate, and test this before launch?).
OOP firmware architecture on ESP32 with FreeRTOS and a 4-state finite state machine for flight phases. Validated against real flight data from LASC. Includes KiCad electronics, bench testing, and FMECA analysis.
ESP32-C3 satellite with bioinspired autorotating recovery system (SRAB, inspired by maple seed aerodynamics) and LoRa triangulation with 3 ground beacons. Full stack: firmware, hardware (KiCad), mission report, and analysis notebooks.
Thrust stand (ESP32 + HX711 load cell) → CSV → Flask analysis app → Simpson integration for total impulse, NAR/TRA motor classification, PDF reports. End-to-end from hardware to certified report.
Contributing to RocketPy — the open-source 6-DOF rocket trajectory simulator. Member of the RocketPy-Team organization, working on core library development, flight simulations, and data analysis for competitions (EuRoC, LASC).
