Bonus Episode: The Curious Engineer: Bruno Caldas on Career Moves, Data, and Getting Into the Room

Bruno Caldas didn't take a traditional path into the world of billion-dollar projects - he started building computers at 14, earned a mechatronics engineering degree, and landed on a $20 billion iron ore project in the jungles of Guinea within two years of graduating. In this bonus segment, Bruno shares what he'd tell his younger self: get comfortable with discomfort, learn the tools that nobody else wants to learn, and never underestimate the power of a clean dataset. Whether you're a student considering project controls or an early-career professional wondering how to stand out, Bruno's story is proof that the combination of technical curiosity and hands-on hustle is still the fastest path to the rooms where the biggest decisions get made.
