Background

About Victor Viegas

With a robust career as a Systems Engineer and Team Leader, I am a proven professional with expertise in the integration of complex, mission-critical systems within global environments. My passion lies in translating business requirements into effective technical solutions, ensuring seamless connectivity and functionality across diverse platforms and technologies. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a unique ability to act as a key integrator, facilitating communication and collaboration among multidisciplinary and international teams (including those in Pittsburgh, Kingston, Bangalore, Madrid, Brazil, and Mexico). I am a strong proponent of agile methodologies for optimizing processes and ensuring timely deliveries. My direct experience in leading technical teams has enabled me not only to coordinate workloads and resources aligned with financial milestones but also to mentor and develop talent. My technical expertise is profound, specializing in control systems (SCADA, ATS) and possessing extensive experience in test and development platform infrastructure. I have built robust environments comprising hundreds of virtual and physical machines (including Windows, Solaris, RHEL, and RISC architectures like SPARC S7), significantly optimizing operational efficiency. A notable achievement includes reducing fault analysis time by an impressive 95% through Python automation and Power BI, transforming raw data into strategic insights for senior management and clients. I have contributed to large-scale, high-investment projects such as the São Paulo Metro Line 15 Monorail (an estimated 1.5+ billionUSD investment) and the Tren Maya in Mexico (investment around 28 billion USD), where I led the configuration of SCADA and HMI systems using proprietary and cutting-edge technologies. Beyond my engineering acumen, I possess excellent communication skills and a systemic vision that transcends technical barriers. To broaden my impact, I have further honed my qualifications with a Postgraduate Degree in Leadership and People Management, complemented by training in Data Analysis (Google Data Analytics, Microsoft PL-300 preparation) and DevOps Engineering (IBM DevOps Engineer Professional Certificate). I am driven by innovation and continuous improvement, consistently seeking to leverage my blend of strategic leadership, system integration expertise, strong communication skills, agile methodology knowledge, and a data-driven, DevOps-oriented mindset to drive success in challenging environments.
