Background

About David Estrela

I am a Electrical and Computer Engineer, with specialization in Telecommunications as major area and Control, Robotics and Artificial Inteligence as minor area, at Instituto Superior Técnico. I have spent my last year studying 5G technology integrated with UAVs as part of my Master Thesis, which I'm finishing. Right now i'm looking for entry level job. I'm from a small island in the middle of the atlantic ocean (S.Miguel) and I've always spent my life doing things: computers, practicing sports or studying. I was good at math, so i was drawn to engineering, which make me come to the mainland to study. But I'm not just an engineer - I also play padel tennis, read books, love to travel, meet new cultures, and gear head. So, while I'll proudly wear the label "geek", these other things define me in many other ways and, i think, make me a better engineer. I was fortunate to get a lot of hands-on experience during my BS and MS- In the summer of 2014, I interned at EDA - Eletricidade dos Açores working with the maintenance teams for the medium voltage electrical networks on the island of S. Miguel- In the summer of 2015, I interned at ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, where I supervised the assembly and automation of the runway lights. I've also analysed different budgets to build a system of parking management at Horta Airport (Faial Island)- In the summer of 2016, I went to Santa Maria Island and interned at NAV Portugal - responsible for one of europe's largest flight information regions - to work on a rack-mounted. I've also developed a report on the renewable energy plant (100% autonomous) present at the airport that feeds the meteorological system necessary to assist air traffic control. I am now actively seeking for potential career opportunities. Please don’t hesitate to contact me via e-mail or feel free to send me a message.
