About me
I'm a mechanical engineer who fell in love with AI. After eight years specifying, buying and commissioning production equipment for Stellantis and Renault, I spent 2026 retraining as an AI engineer, and I'm now looking for my first full-time role building LLM systems. I'm curious by nature, I learn fast, and I like working on problems where the answer has to hold up in the real world, not just in a notebook.
In 2026 I went through Ironhack's AI Engineering bootcamp and built five projects along the way, from image classification and NLP pipelines to agentic RAG systems. The one I'm proudest of is The Factory Floor: an industrial-maintenance copilot that answers technicians' questions from official Siemens manuals, checks each machine's repair history and puts safety first.
What I bring is the combination: I can build the LLM system, and I understand the environment it has to work in. I care about evaluation, tracing and cost from day one, because in a plant nothing ships unless it's measured.
I'm looking for a team where I can keep learning, ship real products and grow into a strong AI engineer. If you're building AI for real-world problems, I'd love to hear from you.
