About Octavio Menocal.
I'm a Software Engineer from Managua, Nicaragua, with 5+ years of experience creating #VoiceFirst apps for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
A great achievement I'm incredibly proud of.
In January 2018, I was invited by Bradley Metrock to speak at the Alexa Conference (now ProjectVoice) in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was one of the best experiences in my career, and I'm really thankful for the opportunity given.
Also, I have created more than 100 voice experiences, counting Alexa skills, Google Actions and some chatbots projects.
