As a professional with a background in agronomic and forestry sciences, I specialise in the following areas: fruticulture (viticulture), floriculture, horticulture, forestry, remote and proximity sensing and agricultural mechanics. I am dedicated to ongoing professional development, having studied these areas extensively over the years, which has enabled me to gain relevant experience and knowledge. I have completed a technical course in Agricultural Production, a higher technical course in Agricultural Mechanisation and Automation, a degree in Agronomy, a master's degree in Agronomic Engineering and I am currently a PhD student in Agronomic and Forestry Sciences. I am continually striving to enhance my knowledge and contribute to the advancement of the sector.
