@melchorperezavila
I’m a Software Engineer integrating AI and automation to build scalable full-stack products.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Software Engineer & AI Integrator with a solid foundation in Automation Engineering from CUJAE, and I’ve also served as an Engineering Professor. I specialize in bridging complex data systems with user-centric applications, turning LLM-powered solutions and automated orchestration workflows into practical outcomes. I’m passionate about leveraging AI agents and RAG frameworks to transform raw data into actionable business intelligence.
In my work, I build scalable full-stack architectures with Next.js, Flask, and cloud-native databases—while owning the full software development life cycle. At General Software Inc., I engineered a mission-critical legal back-office (Fubloo) integrating OpenAI for automated information extraction, and I also designed end-to-end workflow orchestration with Airflow and N8N across Stripe, Cloudtalk, and Google BigQuery. As a freelance engineer, I delivered bespoke automation-focused web applications (using Next.js and Python/Flask) and led deployment and maintenance; I’ve also built IoT systems using Raspberry Pi, MQTT/Mosquitto, Node-RED, and Docker, always with a focus on reliability, security, and measurable impact.
