Eli Gonzalez
@eligonzalez
I build AI products and machine learning systems that improve decisions, growth, and fraud prevention.
What I'm looking for
I founded Brewo, an AI-powered newsletter platform that automates research, summarization, translation, and publishing through multi-agent workflows, retrieval systems, and large language models.
At Kueski, I built and evolved production fraud prevention systems for lending products, reducing fraud-related losses by approximately 70% and false positives by 65%. I owned feature engineering, model development, graph analytics, online decisioning, deployment, risk strategy, and performance measurement.
Previously, I drove growth science at Heineken and Rappi, where I designed experiments, attribution models, and causal analyses to improve product adoption, marketing investment, and revenue. At Heineken, a randomized regional experiment supported a subscription initiative that delivered a 16% revenue uplift.
I also founded and operated MunchGo, a multi-brand ghost kitchen in Mexico City, and have worked across fintech, marketplaces, e-commerce, and AI startups. I'm completing a Master of Data Science at UBC and am motivated by turning ambiguous problems into useful products, experiments, and systems that create value for real people.
