Hi, I'm Luis. I build AI-native software platforms from architecture to production. Over the past 3+ years I've worked across backend engineering, modern web applications and AI systems—both on products of my own and in professional software engineering environments. My experience spans startup execution, client work and industry projects, giving me the ability to balance rapid iteration with the engineering discipline required for reliable, production-ready software. I enjoy building software hands-on and still write code every day. At the same time, my focus extends beyond implementation. I design systems, make architectural decisions and take ownership of how every layer fits together—from databases and APIs to infrastructure, deployment and user experience. I use modern AI development tools where they provide leverage, while keeping engineering quality, technical direction and long-term maintainability under my responsibility. I help companies build AI-native products such as: ▸ AI platform architecture & multi-agent systems ▸ RAG pipelines & semantic knowledge retrieval (Qdrant, pgvector) ▸ LLM integration (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude & self-hosted models) ▸ Backend engineering with FastAPI, APIs, webhooks & third-party integrations ▸ AI observability, monitoring & production debugging ▸ Self-hosted infrastructure with Docker, VPS deployment & GDPR-conscious architectures ▸ Modern AI web applications with Next.js, TypeScript & real-time interfaces Core Stack: Python · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Redis · Qdrant · Docker · Next.js · TypeScript · LangGraph Whether joining an existing engineering team or building a product from the ground up, my goal is always the same: delivering software that is designed to scale, maintain and evolve—not just to ship.

I build AI systems that actually run in production, not just demos. Most clients come to me after hitting the same issues: RAG not accurate, agents unreliable, or AI pipelines that don’t scale. That’s where I step in. I’m a Senior ML and LLM Engineer (10+ years), recently working at NexGen Cloud and Holi GmbH, where I built: ☑️Enterprise AI platforms serving 100+ clients with 99.9% uptime ☑️RAG systems (multimodal, hybrid search, real-time pipelines) ☑️AI agents connected to APIs, tools, and business workflows ☑️High-performance inference systems (sub-200ms latency, cost reduced ~40%) What I can help you with: ☑️RAG Systems (LLM + Data) PDFs, databases, internal tools → accurate retrieval (LangChain, LangGraph, pgvector, Pinecone) ☑️AI Agents & Automation Multi-step workflows, tool calling, OpenClaw-style systems ☑️LLM Systems (Production Ready) OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, structured outputs, evaluation, guardrails ☑️Backend + APIs FastAPI, Django, Node, async pipelines, Redis, scalable systems ☑️Search & Recommendations Hybrid search (BM25 + vector), ranking, personalization I’ve built systems handling 1000+ ML jobs/month and real traffic I focus on accuracy + reliability, not just “AI output” I design systems your team can actually maintain 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 Improved search latency and relevance by 40% Increased recommendation quality by 35% Reduced AI infrastructure cost by up to 70% If you’re building something serious with AI and want it done properly, 𝐥𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤.
