Daniel Zapata Grajalez
@danielzapatagrajalez
I build production-grade AI and full-stack web systems, from RAG pipelines to high-traffic platforms.
What I'm looking for
I'm an AI Engineer and full-stack developer building production-ready RAG pipelines, LLM-powered agents, and multi-step agentic workflows for clients.
At Wizeline, I develop and deploy features for a large U.S. news organization, improving platform stability, performance, user experience, and content delivery across front-end and back-end systems.
As Founder Engineer at Quantlink AI, I led development of an AI-powered investment platform, built contextual retrieval for financial documents and market data, and created ingestion pipelines for semantic search across large document collections.
I've also delivered scalable web applications at Kin + Carta, mentored more than 12 student teams at Henry, and continue deepening my AI focus through a Master's in Artificial Intelligence.
