I’m looking to build AI (LLM/agentic) solutions and secure, resilient DevOps/DevSecOps pipelines. Translating business strategy into architecture, mentoring teams, and eventually develop those same solutions, continuously improving with new technologies.
Diego Ignacio Puente Gallegos
@diegoignaciopuentega
AI Solutions Architect Manager building LLM agent systems and DevSecOps pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI Solutions Architect Manager focused on end-to-end AI solution design—especially LLM and agentic systems. I take ownership across analysis and design phases, aligning solutions with organizational values and business strategy.
In my current role at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), I evaluate diverse technologies to meet complex requirements and analyze tools, systems, and infrastructure across providers like AWS, GCP, Azure, and Salesforce. I also own proof-of-concept agentic solutions for Mexico.
Previously, as a DevOps Software Architect at BBVA, I implemented DevSecOps and DevOps pipelines tailored for Python, Javascript, COBOL, and Java, while mentoring teams on DevOps, security, and QA culture. I led resiliency testing (ChaosEngineering, dynamic application security testing), defined Python unit testing guidelines, and designed multiple production pipeline systems—then extended that approach into MLOps pipeline prototyping for local and global applications.
