What I'm looking for

You probably do not need another specialist. You need one person who can take AI from idea to working system to governed process. I build AI products and agents, automate workflows with LLMs and n8n, and own AI governance. Remote from Madrid (CET), available immediately. If your team needs someone who can build it, run it, and answer for it, we should talk.

What kills AI projects is rarely the model. It is the gap between the people who build, the people who operate, and the people who answer for the risk. I cover that whole gap.

Founder of Izana, a multi-agent, RAG-based AI companion built end to end: LLM orchestration across Claude, Gemini, and Gemma, Pinecone RAG, NeMo Guardrails, critique agent, human-in-the-loop release gates (Python, FastAPI, Next.js, GCP). 3rd of 174 at IE Venture Lab, Best MBA Startup, Horizon Deep Tech 2026 Finalist, 120+ beta users. Also shipped Alma (voice AI, with a technical partner), PrimeVault (document intelligence), and n8n-nodes-agentreplay, a published open source npm package.

Before that: owned EV validation and homologation at LEVC (Geely Group), then ran a $1.4M fertility clinic as Head of Operations, Strategy and Marketing, leading a 45-person team, deploying India's first AI-driven embryo selection, and delivering +30% acquisition, OPEX down 14%. MBA + Master in Technology and Global Affairs (IE Business School), concentrated on the EU AI Act and GDPR, Best Capstone with AWS. Self-directed and remote-ready: I have built and shipped alone, contributed to open source asynchronously, and worked across the UK, India, and Spain.
