Victor Hugo Rios Torres
@victorhugoriostorres
Data Engineer at High 5 Games who built a Gemini-powered image-understanding app and improved welcome-package test retention by ~10%.
What I'm looking for
At High 5 Games, I built an internal AI application using Streamlit and the Gemini API to understand images, generate descriptions, and return structured JSON, reducing manual content processing.
I design and operate GCP data pipelines over high-volume event and transaction data, and integrate machine-learning models into production. In welcome-package A/B tests, retention improved by about 10%, varying by the ad shown.
Previously, I reduced latency by 30% in e-commerce backend systems at Globant and built ETL pipelines at UTEL Universidad that cut manual reporting from three hours to five minutes. I’m looking to apply my engineering and data foundation to AI solutions in financial services.
