About Me
My name is Xavier A. Gonzalez, and I am a mechanical engineering graduate and an innovative professional with a strong passion for creating and enhancing products. I possess a curious and motivated mindset, always seeking new knowledge and resources to fuel my growth. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in the entire product development cycle, collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams.My ability to quickly grasp new concepts and projects has always been a strong suit, allowing me to immerse myself fully in any task at hand. In addition to my professional endeavors, I actively pursue my interests in 3D printing, CAD modeling, and woodworking during my leisure time.
I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in December 2022. Looking ahead, my aspirations lie in computer-aided design and fabrication, particularly through various additive manufacturing techniques. To further pursue my passion for prosthetics, I am planning to return to school to pursue a Master's degree in bio-mechanical engineering.By combining my technical expertise with an unwavering commitment to lifelong learning, I aim to make significant contributions to the field of mechanical engineering and bring positive impact to the lives of individuals through advancements in bio-mechanical engineering and the development of innovative prosthetic solutions.
