About

Prototype fast, ship for real.

I'm an AI engineer with 4+ years building production-ready AI systems. My current focus is Generative AI — LLMs and autonomous agents — taken from prototype all the way to production. Most of my recent work runs on Google Cloud (Vertex AI), with hands-on experience across Azure and AWS as well.

I've built machine-learning systems end to end: from designing the data pipelines and ETLs that feed them to the cloud microservice architectures they run on. Much of that happened inside Grupo Santander, where "production" means robust, scalable and secure by default.

Underneath it all is a foundation in computer science, statistics and data science — paired with a genuine passion for developer relations: conference talks, community initiatives and live public demos. Teaching something is still my favorite way to learn it.
