I lead AI and data transformation, building agentic solutions, governance frameworks, and enterprise data platforms.
What I'm looking for
I've led AI and data strategy, governance, and transformation initiatives for organizations including Axxon Consulting, Practia Global–Publicis Sapient, Universidad Siglo XXI, and Sancor Seguros.
At Axxon Consulting, I design agentic AI architectures for commercial use cases, lead Microsoft Copilot Jumpstart programs, manage new accounts, and help define AI adoption frameworks for the Data & AI practice.
I've built unified data architectures across CRM, ERP, and legacy systems with more than 20 million records, deployed production AI models for risk scoring and conversion, and developed TensorFlow-based DDoS prediction models for a Ministry of Defense cyber-defense program.
