Work Experience

Data & Machine Learning Engineer at SOCOVESA S.A. (Chilean Real Estate)
March 1, 2025 - Present
Designed and deployed scalable data and machine learning pipelines for real-estate analytics and forecasting, migrating fully from manual, local model training to 100% automated cloud-native workflows on AWS. End-to-end automation across ingestion, training, scoring, and monitoring using AWS Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SageMaker. Built production-grade Generative AI systems using Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyse thousands of customer conversations, automatically generating structured insights, trends, and recommendations. Architected agentic LLM workflows with LangGraph, modelling multi-step reasoning as stateful graphs with validation, retries, and conditional execution, significantly improving output reliability and schema correctness for downstream analytics and dashboards. This work replaced manual, qualitative analysis with fully automated LLM pipelines, reducing time-to-insight by ~80%. Developed and deployed interactive insight applications on streamlit
Machine Learning Engineer at Silverpond
November 1, 2024 - March 1, 2025
Delivered production-quality computer vision components using optical flow architectures. Contributed to deployment pipelines using Docker, CI workflows, and real-time API inference. Participated in PR reviews, engineering discussions, and architecture decisions.
Machine Learning Engineer, Freelance at Centre for Applied Research and Innovation (CEININA)
March 1, 2022 - March 1, 2023
Developed deep learning models for healthcare-related motion and activity analysis. Published peer-reviewed work on AI for fall-risk identification in older adults. Created reproducible pipelines for preprocessing, training, and evaluation.
Data Engineer and Analyst in charge of the data area at Institutional Research and Data Unit, University of Chile
January 1, 2017 - October 1, 2022
Led the institutional data engineering area, built ETL pipelines for analytics dashboards. Applied NLP and unsupervised models to cluster staff activity patterns, producing insights that enabled policy reforms for 800 staff. Supervised a team of five computer engineering students in developing a software platform to store and manage data on extension and internationalisation activities.
