Support Specialist Matheus Gomes

The more I know the company the more I am in love with the operations model and how the team members trust each other to get the job done.

In this article, we want to introduce Matheus Pinheiro Gomes. He complements the Inpsyde team in the field of Content & Migration Support since December 2020.

This is Matheus Pinheiro Gomes 

Matheus lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

How would you describe yourself?

I would describe myself as a curious person and an avid learner. I love going through new experiences, traveling to explore new places and cultures. I love reading books on philosophy and psychology, and my main hobby is to learn new languages. Knowing my time on Earth is limited is a great motivator to do more while I have the energy and health to do it. 

How do you spend your spare time?

As I live in Rio de Janeiro, there is a lot to do in my free time. So, to exercise I usually go on hikes like Pico do Papagaio or Pico da Tijuca. There I can chill at the peak and see one of the most amazing views. After a hike, it is a classic to visit Ipanema beach and have a good caipirinha lying on the sand. As Rio is hot all year, it is possible to keep this lifestyle without any problems.

Matheus’s way to Inpsyde

During my studies, I was working at the sales department of Osklen clothing store and after at Janeiro Hotel. I learned a lot about Customer Service and used the skills I acquired in college to deal with people from all over the world. My final thesis was about International Crime Organizations in Brazil, describing their logistics in South America as well. 

The best about Customer Service is the lack of a strict routine and the amount of impact you have on people’s lives. Of course, it requires patience to deal with difficult situations, but it is a work that makes me ready for other life situations. 

Inpsyde gave me the chance to have the remote working lifestyle that only a few people in Brazil experience. Working remotely is the future, and I have the privilege of learning how it is at such a young age. The more I know the company, the more I am in love with the operations model and how the team members trust each other to get the job done.  

I enjoy the contact I have with people from all around the globe and the flexibility to work based on results and not on the number of hours. I am looking forward to learning more about IT and help my team in different ways.
