Background
I started as a biology professor studying flesh-eating bacterial infections and plant microbes, which are tiny living beings that cannot be seen with human eyes alone.Â
Today, I don't chase specific titles anymore. I care more about work that shares my values through actions. My best work shines through in people-first, collaborative, feedback-based environments that respect my need for a thriving personal life. When I thrive, we both thrive.
I have a broader passion: empowering people through accessible design and engineering. At my core, I love uplifting people! If you can look past my previous titles, we might be a good fit!
Right now, I'm open for new remote high-impact roles and projects. If you want to connect, email me at Mellie.Carrillo@proton.me
