With more than a decade of experience, I specialize in solving the problems that others struggle with. My work has consistently involved stepping into situations where existing solutions fell short or were not even attempted—bringing clarity, efficiency, and long-term success. My career has been shaped by my ability to approach complex problems with a balance of technical precision and creativity, often finding solutions that others thought were impossible or impractical. I thrive in environments where critical thinking, deep expertise, and unconventional approaches are needed. While I’ve never been the one to seek the spotlight, my contributions have been recognized by both my peers and mentors. I often step in to solve the most complex, high-stakes challenges that require more than just theoretical knowledge. Whether I’m optimizing systems at the OS level, designing high-performance algorithms, or creating custom solutions from scratch, I’m known for delivering robust, scalable results that stand the test of time. What drives me is a commitment to quality and solving problems in a way that others might not think of, and doing so in an efficient, sustainable manner. I value the balance between working hard on what matters and creating space for personal growth and learning. What you can expect when working with me: \- A proven track record of solving challenges that others couldn’t. \- A focus on sustainable, high-impact solutions. \- Leadership that values results, efficiency, and team success.
Hello! I am Samuel Badin, a control and automation engineer with over 6 years of experience in the information technology field, and from a young age, passionate about innovation. Through software engineering, developing innovative solutions, and team management, I have achieved relevant and high-quality results for the companies I have worked for. In my experiences, I have stood out by working in diverse teams, with the ability to operate in fast-paced, multifunctional, and collaborative environments. I perform my activities with an analytical vision, attention to detail, and dynamism. I am flexible in working with priorities and have the ability to communicate effectively. I led the development of the first digital product in the portfolio of one of the companies I worked for: an automation and weight management software, fully developed in C#/.Net Framework. This product now represents a significant portion of the company's revenue, and through this project, I was able to further develop my leadership, team management, and agile development skills. I participated in the development of the head-up display for one of the main cargo planes of the Brazilian Air Force, contributing significantly with international and high-performance teams in terms of multithread creation and embedded systems. I worked on the development of a commercial eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) for the U.S. market, applying knowledge of object-oriented programming, system design, and CI/CD in the communication layers of microcontrollers. I am excited to continue my career in software engineering and further develop my skills with cloud tools, artificial intelligence applications, and technical team leadership. I have been doing this through training and courses such as AWS and Generative AI Engineering. Feel free to contact me via LinkedIn, or through my email or phone.
