Work Experience
Lead of Strategy, Software, and Product Development in Machine Learning & Generative AI
2023 - present
Madrid, Spain
Guiding the practical development of AI and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) strategies, emphasizing best practices and ensuring the reusability of our work for efficient and high-quality software creation. Additionally, I lead training initiatives for over 30 data scientists, ensuring our ML and GenAI products are market-ready with a strong focus on reusability.
Mentoring senior data scientists towards managerial roles, delegating functions (such as best practices and training) to other team members, both senior and junior, and newcomers. Providing guidance in proposals, project planning and drafting Statements of Works
Defining product architecture and leading teams for internal and external GenAI solutions at scale, shaping the product vision, architecting robust solutions, and orchestrating teams for the successful development and deployment of innovative GenAI products.
Leading teams in successful development and delivery of various high-impact projects, including Gen-AI powered dashboards, GenAI-based accelerators and RAGs, predictive modeling for ceramic manufacturing, optimizing product sequences, predicting precedence in automobile assembly lines, real-time and long-term electricity demand forecasting for large-scale production, vehicle sensor replacement, large-scale electric vehicle charging time and charging demand prediction, product recommendation, churn prediction, and automatic classification of bank transactions and claims. These projects resulted in increased productivity, reduced consumption in manufacturing processes, and optimized product manufacturing sequences for maximum efficiency through AI technologies.
Engaging directly with customers, I gather ML and GenAI (since 2023) requirements, strategizing for the development of both internal and external market-ready products. Leading the planning and creation of Industry 4.0 and Financial Services solutions, I leverage Advanced Analytics, Machine Learning, and Generative AI at scale. This includes handling pre-sales pitches, ensuring seamless post-implementation functionality, and introducing innovative Gen AI-powered dashboards to enhance our offerings.
