Backend engineer / Applied AI / Cloud systems
I build the APIs, data layers, retrieval pipelines and cloud infrastructure that turn models into dependable software. From FastAPI and PostgreSQL to RAG, agents, Terraform and production operations.
System capabilities
My best work happens where a model, dataset or operational problem needs to become software that a real team can understand, operate and extend.
RAG, embeddings, semantic search, agentic workflows, tool calling and MCP/FastMCP integrations.
Evidence: institutional assistants, Spanish retrieval research and tool-using agents.Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, SQLModel, authentication, file workflows and internal APIs.
Evidence: full-stack platforms, data collection systems and production inference services.Docker, Linux, Airflow, AWS, GCP, Terraform, CI/CD, MLflow, DVC and production operations.
Evidence: cloud deployments, ETL operations, MLOps pipelines and DGX infrastructure.Shared agents, reusable skills, project instructions, review flows and structured code generation.
Evidence: standardized delivery workflows used by development teams and technical courses.Frequent tools Python / FastAPI / PostgreSQL / LangChain / MCP / Airflow / Docker / Terraform / AWS / MLflow / PyTorch

@zamax14 ↗@alejandroiieg ↗Selected systems
Products, research and tooling chosen for technical depth and range, not to make the page look busy. Private work is described as a case study without exposing client code.
Classroom platform with an integrated AI assistant, professor and student roles, content, submissions, grading, file uploads and deployment-ready services.
Architecture Role-scoped relational model, modular FastAPI routers, JWT auth, file attachments, Docker and Nginx.
Benchmark for Spanish retrieval systems comparing embedding models with FAISS and evaluating ranking quality with Hit@K, MRR and nDCG.
Research path Reproducible evaluation, model comparison and SLURM/DGX execution for thesis experiments.
Conversational agent with tools, session memory and three interfaces: Chainlit, REST API and CLI.
Python CLI that turns documents into Spanish Q&A and reasoning datasets using local language models.
Reusable prompts, agents, instructions, hooks and skills for consistent backend, data and testing workflows.
Docker Compose environment for reverse proxy, monitoring, automation, CI/CD and shared data services.
Experience
I have moved from embedded software and automation into production ML, data systems, technical leadership and applied generative AI.

Institute of Statistical and Geographic Information of Jalisco
GenAI applications, RAG over documents and databases, FastAPI services, MCP integrations and AI-assisted delivery workflows.
Internal software, LLM retrieval systems, ETL coordination and production operations across Linux and cloud environments.
Data collection systems, RAG-enabled assistants, OCR and object detection, Airflow pipelines and Superset analytics.

Software and AI consulting engagements
Product-demand forecasting platform on AWS with Terraform, Amazon Aurora, Lambda and serverless frontend hosting; shared coding agents helped the team generate consistent code.
FastAPI inference APIs, ONNX Runtime, MLflow, DVC, GitHub Actions and data-labeling pipelines.

Applied machine learning and infrastructure
AI processing pipelines, production inference APIs, CNN models and NVIDIA DGX A100 infrastructure.

Automotive software engineering
Automotive production support, software releases, issue resolution and delivery workflows.
Built scripts and automation tools for testing teams while learning industrial requirements, Scrum, Kanban and cross-functional software delivery.
Writing and teaching
I publish practical material when it can help another engineer or a whole team move faster with better context.
The AI landscape before and after LLMs, including agentic patterns.
Open material ↗ GuideDesign Pattern AgentSpanish documentation and Python examples for GoF design patterns.
Open guide ↗ WorkshopVibe Engineer GuidePractical workflows for shaping coding agents with instructions, prompts and skills.
Open workshop ↗ CourseLocal LLMsFoundations and hands-on local deployment of large language models.
Open course ↗Consulting and collaboration
A half-defined AI product, a difficult dataset, an internal workflow held together by scripts, or a team trying to build consistently with coding agents. Those are good places to start a conversation.
Available for focused consulting, architecture reviews, technical collaboration and serious conversations about applied AI.
