Other:
Over the last 5 years, I have immersed myself in power systems, energy trading, risk management, and energy analytics. I’ve had the privilege of working on a wide range of fascinating projects.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with large Brazilian power utilities and renewable generators as an energy and portfolio analyst. In these roles, I conducted fundamental analyses to improve trading returns and optimize energy portfolios. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see the impact of my work in this space.

My past work experiences have encouraged me to strengthen my skills: I’m currently exploring the potential of AI in electricity markets in my Master’s degree at the University of Calgary.
