ABOUT ME
Electronic Engineer with Master degree in Biomedical Engineering
I am Marina, Brazilian but living in Seattle for now. I am passionate about technology and making technology to improve peoples' life. Beyond that I'm also fascinated about design, and how it helps understanding data and interacting with costumers. I've learned design tools as a hobby but now I'm immersing myself into the world of data visualization and I'm still looking through this new possibility.In my free time I like hiking and visiting new places. I really like to be outside and admire everything that surrounds me. Also, I enjoy dancing forró and going out with friends.
I had the opportunity to be part of really interesting and innovative projects, all them focusing in bringing new useful technologies with low cost. We succeed in building a new medical device for tumor treatment that is now in a clinical trial. I worked with a team quite interdisciplinary, such as health professionals, biologists, government agencies and entrepreneurs.
After a while we wondered... "We built functional and helpful devices here, why don't we sell them ourselves?" and this was the beginning of the startup called Unite do Care. A startup focused on sharing the technologies we have created on the LaB with patients and costumers.
My abilities include: technical tools (data analysis, design, social media, writing, publishing), mechanical manufacturing, shape-memory alloys, image processing, hardware development and technical standards for electronic medical devices.
My greatest interest is to improve technologies to solve real problems. I am always looking for opportunities to make it real.
