Alex De La Puente
@alexdelapuente
Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision and LLM systems with end-to-end delivery and deployment focus.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Machine Learning Engineer focused on building end-to-end AI systems across Computer Vision, LLM applications, and MLOps. I take strong ownership—from architecture and stack selection to backend implementation, model deployment, and industrial integration.
Most recently, I owned the end-to-end development of an MVP for local LLM serving. I covered architecture, stack selection, backend implementation, data management, RAG components, and model inference workflows, acting as the main technical contributor in a non-formal lead role across backend, data pipelines, model serving, and GPU infrastructure.
Earlier, I developed ML-based industrial monitoring solutions for fault classification, dynamic system simulation, and predictive maintenance. I also built DAISY for rotating machinery fault detection using vibration and acoustic data, implementing Python/CUDA-based workflows and Flask/Docker backend services.
My Computer Vision work includes developing end-to-end inspection systems for industrial quality inspection, from data preparation and model training to deployment and integration with machine-level systems. I’ve delivered an internal image-based inspection copilot MVP to help operators detect defects, and I’m continuously expanding into High Performance Computing with CUDA, OpenMP, and MPI.
