I’m Carlos Duarte da Silva, a chemical and biological engineer with a deep passion for sciences, arts and technology. After many years involved with the cork industry, I pursued a Master in Biological Engineering, which I completed in 2017. I’ve always aimed to contribute in a positive and competent way to all tasks I undertake, leveraging a broad curiosity across disciplines. In 2021 I completed a one-year programming course and began a career as a software test engineer, gaining experience in manual and automated testing across automotive and telecommunications sectors. Since 2023 I’ve been with NTTData, expanding my skills in test analysis, automation, data handling and quality assurance, while continuing to grow in a dynamic tech environment.
