With over 35 years of bridging the gap between academia and real-world consultancy, I’ve spent my career proving that construction, quality, and sustainability absolutely belong together. As a pioneer of construction quality management in Portugal, my academic DNA fuses the analytical rigor of Civil Engineering and Economics with the strategic vision of Management.

Currently, my focus is on reimagining the construction industry's future through the circular economy, because the only thing better than building something great is ensuring it never goes to waste.

Being proudly left-handed and unapologetically right-brained, I approach technical challenges with a healthy dose of creative curiosity. When I’m not lecturing, researching, or consulting, you’ll likely find me feeding a severe travel addiction, exploring the globe to see how the rest of the world puts its pieces together.
