At TAP Air Portugal, gained extensive experience as an Interior Cabin Mechanic, performing preventive and corrective maintenance on aircraft systems and cabin components under strict EASA/FAA regulations. This role strengthened my technical troubleshooting, documentation accuracy, and ability to work within safety-critical and compliance-driven environments—skills directly transferable to pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Background in logistics and customer support further strengthened adaptability, clear communication, and problem-solving in dynamic settings. Technically adept with WordPress, Shopify, Linux CLI, networking fundamentals, and advanced Photoshop editing, reflecting curiosity and a quick-learning mindset. Pragmatic, detail-oriented, and motivated to grow within the pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality operations field.
I also have strong IT specialist skills, particularly in Linux CLI and SSH for server maintenance, cPanel administration including email, DNS and SSL configuration, networking fundamentals, and remote technical support. My experience extends to hosting automation with WP-CLI, basic scripting, and technical troubleshooting, enabling me to deliver reliable and efficient digital solutions.
