Airline Transport Pilot • Gold Seal Flight Instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI) • Engineer • Triple Citizen. I am a dedicated and safety-focused First Officer at Hawaiian Airlines, flying both domestic and international routes on the Airbus A330. With a strong foundation in engineering and leadership, I bring a disciplined, analytical approach to aviation, combined with a lifelong passion for learning and continuous improvement. My career began in rail transportation engineering, where I developed skills in programming, supervisory systems, signaling, and project management. This experience sharpened my ability to manage complex technical systems and collaborate effectively across teams and stakeholders. Transitioning to aviation rekindled my passion for mastering new skills and quite literally broadened my horizons. As a former Flight Instructor and Flight Standards Instructor, I take pride in mentoring others and fostering a safety-first culture. Holding American, Brazilian, and Portuguese citizenships, I bring a global outlook and cultural sensitivity that enrich my approach to teamwork and leadership. I thrive in dynamic environments that demand precision, adaptability, and clear communication.
