Marcos Javier Alvarez Maestre
@garusis
I build production LLM systems, scalable full-stack platforms, and cost-disciplined AI workflows.
What I'm looking for
At House Numbers, I build production LLM pipelines for an AI-powered mortgage-lending platform, taking document extraction accuracy from 30% to 87% across the replacement experiments — at least as reliable as the incumbent OCR vendor, extending coverage to the third of documents it only classified, at about 3% of its cost.
I’ve built asynchronous email and SMS infrastructure, LLM-driven message classification, and loan matching over field-level-encrypted data. I also turn agentic features into measurable engineering systems through evaluation harnesses, human-graded ground truth, prompt versioning, observability, and per-call cost tracing.
Previously, I led backend work for Xogito Group’s multi-tenant quality-control SaaS and delivered full-stack software for a fiduciary procurement platform at FullStack Labs. Across earlier roles, I led serverless document-platform work, Kubernetes migrations, and full-stack and DevOps delivery for insurance, IoT, gaming, and mobility products.
I also maintain cowork, an open-source Python CLI that orchestrates AI coding agents into role-based teams with evaluations, live-run supervision, and cost/token reporting.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Core engineer on a 15-service TypeScript monorepo. Designed and shipped LLM pipelines for document data extraction, taking accuracy from 30% to 87% — at least as reliable as the incumbent OCR vendor, with wider coverage, at about 3% of its cost. Built email/SMS infra, LLM classification, and agentic workflows with eval harnesses and cost tracing.
Senior Software Engineer
Xogito Group
Dec 2020 - Mar 2022 (1 year 3 months)
Took over the client relationship mid-project after the PM left: diagnosed a roadmap built on misread requirements, renegotiated scope and deadlines with a frustrated client, and restored the account — which won the company further work.
Migrated quote data to the rebuilt platform and reconciled it against the legacy system; traced a mismatch in financial totals to differing rounding behavior and aligned the new calculations to the client's existing rules.

Migrated a self-hosted monolith to an AWS Kubernetes microservices cluster; migrated a mobile backend off a discontinued BaaS ahead of its shutdown, reverse-engineering undocumented internals from source.
Full-stack and DevOps delivery for IoT platforms that broadcast academic content, tests and video conferences from web and mobile apps to embedded devices, plus a video-intercom product with remote door control. Owned deployments and R&D on experimental hardware.
