A. Carrillo Bermejo

Q: Who are you? Where are you from?

A: I am from Mérida, Yucatán, México. It’s a nice place to visit with friends and family.

Q: What’s your background? What did you do before Modulate?

A: I received my BSc degree in Mechatronics Engineering from the Universidad Modelo. Then I pursued my MSc degree in Computer Science from Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán. I follow my passion through a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

Q: Why are you joining Modulate?

A: Throughout my life, I was able to observe and experience abuse at different levels and in different areas. Modulate shares that vision in helping to combat abuse. Having the opportunity to use my knowledge of Machine Learning and achieve this goal together with a great team that shares the same vision is my greatest motivation.

Q: What’s your ideal work environment? Any special strategies you use to stay effective?

A: I do not have special environments as long as there is a mug of coffee and code is perfect for me.

‍Q: Tell us about something you must have in any culture you join?

A:  Empathy and communication. 

Q: Who are you outside of work?

A: I am a thoughtful person. Most of the time you can find me walking around thinking about a good book I had read or any related article involving something that I love. In the rest of the time left I love video games and running.

Q: What’s something you’re great at that few people realize?

A: I am a very empathetic person. 

Q: Leave us with a fun tidbit - a favorite joke, a story from your past, an obscure riddle, whatever you like!

A:  Sorry I am not very good at jokes, however, I love to support others, so I will leave you with two of my favorite phrases that always give me support and strength: “If you're going through hell, keep going” from Winston Churchill. “Talent may get you on the field, but it's effort and attitude that will keep you there” from Ken Griffey Jr.  Never give up. Keep going!.
