WHO I AM?

My name is Kin Océlotl Cuauhtli, I live in Chetumal and Mexico City.
Since I was a child, science and technology have stolen my attention, especially the universe.

My fascination for science and technology has been a constant journey of discovery, from the ancient lifeforms encapsulated in fossils to the vastness of space explored through astronomy. Documentaries on prehistoric insects and the mysteries of the universe, along with the imaginative realms of science fiction and artificial intelligence, have all fueled my curiosity. Marveling at how our era, with the latest AI inventions and models, is closing in on science fiction ideas from the past, I’m captivated by the endless possibilities that lie in understanding the cosmos and harnessing the potential of AI

Studies

I finish my bachelor in mechatronic engineer in the Universidad Pólitecnica de Chiapas in 2016. Following that, I pursued a Master’s degree in Astrophysics at the Instituto de Astronomía (IA) within the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), from 2017 to 2022. Currently, I am continuing my studies at the same institution, working towards a PhD in Astrophysics.AirplaneCopper wire, wood base. I created this piece in late 2008. For this work, I aimed to convey both the industrial heaviness of an airplane, but also the cloudlike floating quality you feel when you’re in one.

In my current research, I am focused on two distinct but equally fascinating projects. The first involves a comparative analysis of location algorithms developed for the Fermi satellite. This study aims to assess and enhance the precision of these algorithms, which are critical for accurately pinpointing the origins of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the cosmos.

Simultaneously, I am engaged in the hunt for kilonovae through the detection of short gamma-ray bursts with Fermi and observations made with the Deca-Degree Optical Transient Imager (DDOTI). This work is part of a broader effort to understand these extraordinary events, which are thought to be the result of collisions between neutron stars, shedding light on the universe’s most energetic processes and the synthesis of heavy elements.

Professional Experience

My career reflects a strong foundation in Salesforce development, complemented by a recent expansion into the field of AI and Natural Language Processing. I am passionate about leveraging technology to optimize processes, enhance user experiences, and extract actionable insights from data.

  • Evidente (Data Scientist):
    At Evidente, I transitioned into the realm of Data Science, focusing on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs). My work involved configuring user conversation summaries using cutting-edge models like Gemini and Bison. This included leveraging Python, BigQuery, and other Google Cloud Platform (GCP) tools to process and analyze large datasets, ultimately providing valuable insights from user interactions.
  • Mi Lámina (Advanced Salesforce Developer)
    In this role, I focused on advanced Apex and Lightning development to significantly improve sales process efficiency, including seamless integrations with external services. My responsibilities encompassed optimizing background operations using asynchronous Apex, refining sales process modeling, implementing advanced automation with Salesforce Flows and Apex (including trigger flows), and managing core Salesforce administration tasks. I also played a key role in automating quoting and approval processes, streamlining critical business workflows.
  • Grupo Salinas (Salesforce Developer)
    Here, I specialized in developing and optimizing Aura components to create enhanced user interfaces within Service Cloud. I also built custom RESTful services using Apex and facilitated seamless interactions between Apex and Salesforce Flows to optimize customer service operations. My contributions included designing intuitive screen flows and implementing Omnichannel to ensure real-time responsiveness to customer needs.
  • Fast Cloud Consulting (Consultant)
    My consulting work involved collaborating on diverse projects, with a focus on Service and Sales Cloud functionalities. I provided expertise in customizing Salesforce environments, enhancing client engagement through CRM modules, and ensuring data integrity through meticulous data migration and maintenance tasks.

Hobbies

Apart from my dedication to astrophysics, I find fun and relaxation in physical activities that help me disconnect and recharge. Rugby is one of my favorite pastimes; playing as a forward for the Pumas Rugby Team at UNAM in CDMX has taught me a lot about teamwork and resilience. It’s a great way to challenge myself outside my research work.

I also have a strong connection to Huatulco, Oaxaca, where I spent my childhood and adolescence. Whenever I get the chance to go back, I make the most of it by bodyboarding. It’s an activity that reconnects me with the ocean and brings back great memories from my time growing up there.
