Description
Jeferson Costa is one of my idols to follow in the “Online” Chemical Engineering World. He has awesome content and he has been doing a great job lately with all his content and marketing with his INPROCESS group.
I know him since the moment that he got in contact back in 2017.
We have been chatting and sending e-mails back and forth ever since. He is a great friend to have as well!
Jeferson has a lot of expertise in chemical and process engineering, mostly in plant design. He has been working with lots of “heavy weight” companies such as PraxAir, Braskem, and many other.
He went to China and there he got his Eureka moment to teach online to other fellow chemical and process engineers around the world.
Ever since, he has been working in his own Consulting Firma as well as Teaching Online.
You can check more of his work directly in his website https://www.JefersonCosta.com
We chatted about lots of things, his beginnings, his first job, why he wanted to go into studying law, how and when he was let go from his job and about his current projects.
We also had a discussion… Is Saga of Gemini really the best Saint Seiya Knight of the Zodiac?
