Personal site (not finished)
About
Hi! My name is André Cavalcanti, I’m a scientist and mechanical engineer. I created this website as an online portfolio to tell a little about myself and resume the projects I have worked on.
My father and grandfather were automotive mechanics, so I grew up in a mechanic’s shop. I was never in love with cars but always enjoyed seeing how things fit and worked together. I always tried to understand how my toys worked and how I could improve them. I remember that every year in the rainy season I bought polystyrene and made a boat, dismantled some remote control cars, took out dc motors and put them in the boat, they never went forward because I never made a rudder. I always knew what say when they asked what I wanted to be when I grew up.
In 2013 I was champion of IEEE Very Small Size at Brazilian Robotics Competition, today I’m graduated from Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte with a degree in Science and Technology and in Mechanical Engineering, interested in developing my knowledge along with mechatronics, automation and IoT.
Stirling Car
This car was developed as a practice of thermodynamics during my graduation in mechanical engineering.
UAV support for external payload
During the time I worked at the Barreira do Inferno launch center my task was to develop an support for external payload to SPACEVANT, an Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle for scanning and data collection in areas of space missions.
Game development
I developed games for projects of the department of physiotherapy of UFRN using Unity and Leap Motion.
