About Syntros
How Syntros thinks, what it has done and who is behind it.
Principles
How Syntros makes decisions
- 01
If a spreadsheet solves it, I'll tell you a spreadsheet solves it.
In practice
A proposal may recommend a smaller solution than expected, or no new tool at all.
- 02
Understanding a problem and describing it well is half the solution.
In practice
The first conversations are questions, not demos. The proposal comes only after the technical survey.
- 03
A wrong number on a beautiful dashboard is worse than no dashboard at all.
In practice
Before any chart, the numbers are checked against the source. If they don't reconcile, the dashboard doesn't go live.
- 04
Design mistakes show up early, or they show up expensive.
In practice
Short iterations the client tests from the start, and a prototype before production.
- 05
Fewer features, all of them working every single day.
In practice
What goes into the delivery is what will be used. The rest waits until it's actually needed.
Experience
The experience behind it
Syntros is built on more than ten years of mechanical engineering in Brazil and Europe, in industries where mistakes are expensive.
- 10+ years of product engineering, from concept to production
- 7 years in Europe leading mechanical and propulsion engineering teams
- R&D additive manufacturing and quality as daily practice on complex projects
Where that experience was built
- 01Aerospace
Led propulsion hardware engineering for orbital launch vehicles: turbomachinery design, R&D and production strategy, with additive manufacturing at the core.
- 02Robotics
Led the mechanical team developing new products, from structural design to mechanical validation under real operating conditions.
- 03Offshore oil and gas
Analysis and development of subsea interconnection structures for exploration and production projects, plus technical proposals for export markets.
- 04Mining and stone
Design of mechanical equipment for the stone industry and performance analysis of heavy machinery in the field.
Who's behind it
Solutions built by an engineer who needed them mid-project.
Rogério T. L. Valladão
Founder · mechanical engineer
A mechanical engineer driven by curiosity and tough challenges, especially the ones that only yield to work across disciplines, from software to hardware. Over more than ten years taking products from concept to production, he has worked in industries where mistakes are expensive, from launch vehicle propulsion to robotics and offshore, and led engineering teams in Denmark. That range is what lets him choose the right solution, from the simplest to the most elaborate, always tested before it meets the real world. He founded Syntros in Vitória, Brazil, to put that experience to work on engineering and operations problems.
