Rodrigo Barcena Mendes

In the early 1990s, he entered the job market, building a solid career grounded in continuous learning. His education and interests spanned industrial mechanical drawing, agricultural engineering studies at FCA-UNESP/Botucatu—where he deepened his knowledge of chemistry, acidity, and organic fibers—and architecture and urbanism at Universidade Anhembi Morumbi, refining his mastery over applied geometry, volumetry, and spatial perception. Both university paths, though not formally completed due to the ups and downs that life imposes, were fundamental in consolidating his technical and scientific repertoire.

This robust multidisciplinary foundation expanded in the practical market through his work in the metallurgical sector, where he mastered the mechanical behavior of materials, tensions, and industrial fastenings, paving the way for a renowned and specialized career behind the scenes of Brazilia...
