About

A blue square picture a blue square Octavio's picture

Hello! I am Octavio Gomes, a mechanical engineer.

I work as a mechanical engineer with experience in customer service, marketing, and digital tool development.

My background knowledge in the diverse areas of principles of accounting, design process, and programming has provided me with a well-rounded set of tools to surpass challenges by analyzing it from multiple perspectives. My passion for learning and facing challenges has allowed me to succeed in areas that used to seem foreign to me, such as companies’ internal procedures and marketing techniques, by creating Excel application to unify separated functions and leading the company rebranding campaign.

Although I am currently working as a mechanical engineer, I am always interested in new challenges. Reach out to me at the contact section.
