Bio
André Espada
I had the pleasure to work with Luísa during almost one year, during her first internship experience. She is definitely a fast learning that can transform complex information in simple things, even with a huge amount of them. She have good analytic skills that helped a lot during wind power projects, such as GE, WEG and SiemensGamesa. Luísa also has very nice skills with 3D modeling and 3D printing, that helped a lot during project prototyping.
