Udacity Mentor Spotlight: Step Into Groundbreaking Technology with Alexandre Nogueira

Some say an expert is someone who has reached the highest form of knowledge one can attain in any given subject. But we disagree. To us, an expert  is someone who simply never stops learning.

Meet Alexandre Nogueira, a highly-skilled professional and Udacity mentor who believes that every aspiring mentor should simply keep learning and stay updated and close to the technologies they are interested in. 

Alexandre’s Journey from a Udacity Learner to a Udacity Mentor

With over 30 years of professional experience, Alexandre is currently the Senior Solution Architect at Ericsson. 

Alexandre was one of the first students in Brazil to take the Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program. “It was fantastic,” he says, “but I didn’t just stop there.”

After graduating from three different Udacity Nanodegree programs — Flying Car and Autonomous Flight Engineer, Self-Driving Car Engineer, and Machine Learning Engineer — Alexandre decided to venture into something new. He became a Udacity mentor to guide learners in the field of Self-Driving Cars. 

 “It was a fundamental change in my life,”explains Alexandre.

Learning Never Stops For a Udacity Mentor

Between his Udacity Nanodegree programs and his experience as a mentor, Alexandre has been able to hone in on the automotive industry where he works as a Solution Architect for the Automotive segment. 

Despite his immense experience and in-depth expertise, Alexandre’s learning journey continues.  He believes that the most rewarding aspect of being a Udacity mentor is the opportunity to learn even more!

Mentors at Udacity are truly able to impact lives by being able to help learners step into groundbreaking technology fields,  Alexandre shares.
