Functional Owner of Traffic Function for BMW's Navigation Project: - Design the function Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) for BMW’s navigation system. - Specify software requirements, create test cases, manage reported issues and conduct validation tests. - Ensure the achievement of project deadlines, milestones and deliver bug fixes and new features. - Handle and validate vehicles’ connected functions to roll out in new countries, by carrying out in loco tests.

- Coordinate and manage all development phases of ABS and ESC systems. - Define product requirements and ensure its development in accordance with quality standards, e.g., ISO 26262. - Validate ABS and ESC systems via vehicle tests and diagnosis.

International internship at Bosch in Germany: - Analyze quality reports of gear housings produced in China and assembled in Germany. - Execute Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) on supplier’s parts according to AIAG standards.

Internship at Sales team of Chassis System Control division - Latin America for FCA and CNHi groups. - Coordinate ECRs (Engineering Change Requests) and manage sale price of automotive components. - Support the Project Managers on their daily tasks.

- Research in Fluid Mechanics, primarily focused on Aerodynamics: - Improve the aerodynamic efficiency of a prototype from laminar to turbulent flow through active control of the boundary layer. - Perform the research through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with Hyperworks CFD tools.

- Lead a group of 15 engineering students using open and transparent communication. - Coordinate and manage RC (Remote Controlled) airplanes’ engineering design process for SAE Aerodesign competition. - Define and document project requirements and ensure its compliance with competition regulations. - Design control surfaces (aileron, rudder and elevator) for RC airplanes as responsible for the Stability and Control department.

Rotary's program aims to promote cultural exchange. Students spend a year abroad, living with at least two native host families, attending high school and participating in Rotary-organized social projects and trips.
