As head of gateway and smart meter development at WEG, he combines low-level Linux expertise (kernel, device drivers, rootfs) for ARM/x86 with firmware, VHDL and hardware design skills to deliver production-ready devices. He has deep experience managing cross-border supplier relationships and manufacturing partnerships in China and South Korea, ensuring certification and scale for utility-grade products. A hands-on manager, he moved from senior electronic engineer roles into R&D leadership, routinely bridging field requirements, compliance (INMETRO) and firmware/hardware delivery.
