Welcome!
I'm a Senior Software & ML Engineer focused on bridging the gap between advanced academic research and scalable industry solutions. My experience spans architecting complex data pipelines, deploying fine-tuned LLMs, and building robust RAG architectures for real-world applications. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) tech lead, I enjoy aligning multinational teams to deliver high-performance, production-grade AI and full-stack systems.
I hold a B.S. in Software Engineering from Universidad Privada del Norte where I graduated as a highlighted student with a 4.0 GPA. My early research was recognized at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (SMILES 2020), where I earned a top 10% spot to present my work on Convolutional Neural Networks for respiratory condition detection. Currently, I am expanding my academic horizons by pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at the University of London.
As a REPU Computer Science alum, I analyzed a corpus of 80,000 COVID-19-related texts using novel NLP approaches. This resulted in a published research paper that was indexed in the WHO COVID-19 Research Database. During this research, I had the privilege of being mentored by Gisella Bejarano in Professor Arti Ramesh's research lab at Binghamton University.
I'm also a huge enthusiast of the Julia Programming Language and active in the open-source community. The Google Summer of Code 2023 gave me the opportunity to work on empowering Julia-based Data Science with MLflow. Today, I actively contribute to the Machine Learning in Julia (MLJ) framework, and I maintain tracking tools like DearDiary.jl under the JuliaAI organization.
Beyond the code, I play vocals in a band called El mejor verano de mi vida (The best summer of my life). We were recognized as part of the fifth wave of emo, which I'm quite proud of! I also enjoy playing Magic: The Gathering and spending time with my two cats.
