Defined, led, and executed QA automation projects for Iberia's AI product, iBot.

• Led AI evals for unit testing, QA agents for E2E testing, and Playwright-based functional testing.
• Designed quality workflows for an airline AI assistant where reliability, regression coverage, and scenario evidence matter.

Built Clous from scratch as an AI-native HR platform using agentic architectures with tool use, routing, memory, and human-in-the-loop controls.

• Shipped production systems on AWS and Azure with Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, ECS/Fargate, S3, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind.
• Designed core AI architecture for hiring, performance, and documentation workflows: multi-agent systems, RAG with Pinecone and S3, Knowledge-Graph RAG with Neo4j, MCP Apps, and Slack Bot integrations.
• Cut time to first token to under 3 seconds while improving throughput by roughly 70% through routing, caching, Celery worker tuning, and context optimization.
• Owned product discovery and delivery end to end: ran 30+ interviews with HR leaders, translated insights into roadmap priorities, closed 2 paid GenAI pilots, and led a 4-person team plus 2 advisors across backlog and technical decisions.

Defined the early technical roadmap and vendor strategy for a climate-tech startup.

• Built financial models and simulations to support fundraising and product decisions.
• Worked across supplier evaluation, technical planning, and execution tradeoffs during the company formation stage.

Supported maintenance and troubleshooting of naval electronics across multiple suppliers.

• Collaborated with defence-sector stakeholders connected to Ministerio de Defensa projects.
• Worked hands-on with electronics repair, maintenance processes, and supplier-specific technical constraints.
