AI Engineer focused on RAG, LLM-powered chatbots, and automation.
CubaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI Engineer who builds real-time, LLM-based experiences using RAG techniques and language-model tooling. At Nxlabs, I developed a monolith with Elixir and integrated Pinecone, then created intelligent assistants and AI-driven n8n automation systems that rely on vectorization and embeddings.
I also work end to end—from prompt creation to REST API development—using LangChain, OpenAI, Jina, and Azure AI Promptflow with embeddings to power responsive chatbots. Earlier, I developed and customized Drupal modules and REST APIs at Bits Americas SAS, and as a freelance developer I delivered functionality for the Cuidamex health academic record management system and an online food store.
