My focus is on engineering technological strategies for digital radio, aiming to break down the barriers that currently hinder the widespread adoption of this new way of experiencing radio.

I intend to serve as a facilitating bridge between the digital radio industry in Brazil, recognizing the immense difficulty that standards bodies, manufacturers, and the general population face in establishing effective communication — a challenge that only deepens the paralysis of the analog-to-digital radio transition in Brazil and even contributes to the slow progress in areas where the process has already begun.
