Sustainability Engineer (IC3)
May 2023 – PresentFull-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
-
Sustainability Engineer (IC2)
Apr 2022 – Apr 2023Full-time · Hybrid
Contributed to carbon accounting solutions through implementation work across data, calculations, and sustainability product features, while building a strong understanding of how sustainability requirements translate into engineering systems.
- Carbon accounting implementation
- Sustainability data & LCA workflows
- Increasing technical ownership and autonomy
-
Sustainability Engineer (IC1)
Aug 2021 – Mar 2022Full-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

Junior Business Developer
Nov 2018 – Jan 2020Full-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.
