Experience

From the energy transition in Iberia to carbon accounting systems in Sweden.

  1. Normative.io

    2021–Present

    Stockholm County, SwedenCarbon accounting platform for enterprise emissions and supply-chain data.

    1. Sustainability Engineer (IC3)

      May 2023 – Present

      Full-time · Remote

      I design and develop systems and methodologies supporting carbon accounting and Life Cycle Assessment. My scope has expanded from implementation to broader ownership across sustainability data, calculations, and cross-team initiatives.

      • Systems design for carbon accounting & LCA
      • Cross-functional collaboration across engineering, product and sustainability
      • Audit support & data reliability — calculations that stay defensible under scrutiny
      • End-to-end ownership of features and improvements
      • Systems design
      • LCA
      • Audit support
      • Methodology

    3. Sustainability Engineer (IC1)

      Aug 2021 – Mar 2022

      Full-time · Hybrid

      Joined with a background in sustainability and engineering and built the technical foundations to contribute in a product environment — a deliberate transition from domain-focused work to hands-on engineering within carbon accounting systems.

      • Developed coding proficiency in Python, Pandas and SQL
      • Applied them to sustainability data, calculations and early product features

    1. Junior Business Developer

      Nov 2018 – Jan 2020

      Full-time

      Part of the Iberian sales team, bridging the gap between external companies and InnoEnergy assets, and building connections with investors and future partners.

      • Created and ran “Let's Talk Energy”, an event on the Portuguese National Plan for Energy and Climate and the role of innovation in the energy transition — it led to active cooperation between InnoEnergy, the EIB and EY in Portugal.
      • Co-organised “The Reverse Pitch”, a closed-door open-innovation event where companies pitched their problems to start-ups I personally selected. Resulting proposals represented potential deals worth over €270k.
