Self-Teaching
Domingos: Crafting Innovation and Creativity
At Yungo, the drive for innovation and creativity runs deep. Domingos, one of our talented engineers, embodies this spirit. From a young age, he has been fascinated by the unusual hobby of miniature painting. What started as a hobby soon turned into a journey of self-learning and skill-building.
Domingos fascination with miniatures pushed him to master various tools and technologies. He taught himself to design intricate miniatures using 3D modeling software, operate 3D printers to make the miniatures a reality, and even develop an app to visualize some of these models in AR. This self-driven learning process not only sharpened his technical skills but also opened up his creativity.
One of Domingos's most notable projects was the 'Yungomons,' a playful combination of Yungo and Pokémon, which he brought to life for a team-building event in the Netherlands. At Allinq’s 60th anniversary, knowing it to be a family event, Yungo wanted to create something that could be handed out to the little ones attending. The idea came about to create Telco-inspired Pokémon and their respective cards to gift to the children of the employees’ families. Domingos was fully on board with the challenge and designed six unique Yungomons and made illustrations and cards for them. However, he decided not to be content with just that and took the idea one step further. He modeled the creatures in 3D and created an app that would scan a QR-code and bring them to life in augmented reality. Yungomons were a success at the event and have now become a familiar sight in other Yungo activities. They may even make an appearance in a future painting workshop during a team building activity. Domingos hopes that these initiatives encourage more of his colleagues to get creative and inspire them to explore and learn new tools and technologies.
Yungo recognizes and supports the continuous learning and development of its employees. Domingos's story is a reflection of how our company encourages its team members to explore new skills and push their boundaries. By nurturing an environment that values personal growth and innovation, Yungo enables its employees to bring their whole selves to work. This support not only benefits individuals like Domingos but also enhances the company's overall capabilities and offerings to clients.
Introducing his hobby to the company has allowed Yungo to explore creative ways to market our brand and use Yungomons as a fun, friendly way to teach and learn about telecom design and new technologies. This approach makes it easier to find and implement new solutions for projects.
