Speaker Bio
I am seeking an opportunity to apply the knowledge I have acquired throughout my career. With 20 years of experience in Industrial Automation, I possess solid expertise in Cybersecurity for Mission-Critical environments and am a specialist in the PI System. My achievements include receiving the TI & GOVERNO Award in 2012 and the Metering Excellence Awards for Latin America. I hold a postgraduate degree in Information Security from Senac São Paulo, obtained in 2023, and a Bachelor’s degree in Network Management from UNIRADIAL, completed in 2008. Currently, I work at Cia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo (SABESP) as a Technical Manager since May 1997. In this role, I have been involved in the modernization of the Operational Control Center for the Metropolitan Region, as well as the implementation, support, and maintenance of SCADA Power supervision systems. Additionally, I have overseen the implementation, support, maintenance, and development of the PI System Historian, configuration, and analysis of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and the maintenance of a segregated OT environment, ensuring security protocols are rigorously followed. From March 2014 to December 2017, I served as a guest professor at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, where I taught courses in SCADA Systems and Macrometering as part of the Postgraduate Program in Basic Sanitation Engineering. I have a basic understanding of English and possess several key skills, including effective communication, autonomy, adaptability, critical thinking, teamwork, and a strong focus on cybersecurity in OT environments.
