Working with Gonçalo was a very good and profitable experience. As any project, the SIMI project had its moments of greater stress with hard deliverables to be accomplished in short periods of time.
Gonçalo was always up for them and never failed showing extreme dedication and motivation levels.
Adding to this, Gonçalo is a very easy person to deal with: he is very understanding, creative and implements (design and interface) in record speed times, which is really useful in a project with short deadlines. I hope we meet again one day in our professional lifes.

I worked with Gonçalo for 1 year in Copidouro. He had the role of change and dynamism to the company. Faced with this challenge, Goncalo had the ability to respond to the task, leading, fostering a new interpretation of the role of business in the context of new media.
Clearly, Gonçalo, for his efforts, commitment and dynamism, a professional with a promising future.
