AI ENGINEER WHO SHIPS — REAL SYSTEMS FOR REAL USERS.
I build production AI apps, vision tools, and agent infrastructure — from lecture copilots to smart-city IoT. Looking for SWE, AI, and Forward Deployed Engineer internships.
> ABOUT.ME
I'm an AI engineer based in Miami. I earned an A.S. in Computer Science at Miami Dade College (GPA 4.00, Jan–Dec 2024) and I'm continuing a B.S. in CS at Florida International University (GPA 3.76, expected Apr 2028). I ship production systems that mix full-stack software with LLMs, computer vision, and edge/IoT.
I'm bilingual (English/Spanish) with Portuguese, and I'm looking for Software Engineering, AI/ML, and Forward Deployed Engineer internships. Recent work spans ProfSummarizer, PlateSpotter, open-source agent infra (nous-core / OpenRouter), and an AI smart-city kiosk on Raspberry Pi for the City of Coral Gables.
