Building a future where technology augments rather than just automate, where we enhance human potential instead of trying to replacing it. My focus: transforming product development to let teams focus on value creation over process management.I've had the pleasure of taking natural language applications all the way from inception to production for over a decade. Focused for a long time on enterprise automation and data preparation, I have successfully deployed hundreds of cutting-edge solutions for startups and F500 companies alike.Let's go on a trip down memory lane!During the 2010s, at Inbenta (acq. by Tritium), we deployed some of the first transactional chatbots across the US, APAC, and LATAM, leveraging semantic search to provide federated knowledge-sourced answers and interacting with client back-end systems. Now we call this area RAG / Tool use.At Directly (now Movate), we automated and distributed support, building a platform to create classifier models from client unstructured data, using Human-In-The-Loop pipelines to power chatbots, routers, and our own task distribution systems for gig workers to get rewards for training models. Now we call this RLHF.In 2023, we founded Integrait Solutions, using our experience taking AI applications to production to help companies of all sizes benefit from the new wave of available tools and models. Our clients benefit from our experience to analyze unstructured data, automate tasks, and deploy production-ready AI features. Whether it's internal assistants, fine-tuning models for custom purposes, or automating manual tasks, we've got you covered!Reach out if you want to bring AI's power to your workforce, product, and workflows. Let us help implement effective automation in your company and build the hybrid workforce that will propel your business's future.---Although originally from Spain, I’ve called the US home for over a decade. My passion for languages and their processing by machines has fueled my career. From early experiments with basic bots in the 2000s to a whole career of deploying nlp/ai solutions, I have always been most interested in the idea of expanding human cognition.Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, personal projects, and time back in Europe. I have a keen interest in geopolitics and aerospace, balancing my reading between fiction and non-fiction, and often indulge in binge-listening history documentaries.𝑨𝒅 𝑨𝒖𝒈𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂 𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂

Co-Founder | Giving Time Back To Product & Engineering TeamsZentrik Aug 2024 - PresentBuilding upon a decade of implementing AI solutions at scale, we identified a transformative opportunity: while AI has made engineers 2-3x more productive, it's created a critical bottleneck in product management. Today's PMs are drowning in administrative work - playing four roles at once (PM, PO, Scrum Master, Project Manager) while spending 25% of their time just moving information between systems.We're building a new kind of product management platform—one that works behind the scenes, transforming scattered information into structured sprints without constant manual effort. Our mission is to usher in the next era of product development, where AI augmentation is seamless and intuitive, giving product teams back their time to focus on what truly creates value: understanding users and solving real problems.Because as development becomes commoditized through AI, the key differentiator won't be who ships fastest - but who best understands which features actually matter.- Validated market fit through extensive research with 100+ Product Managers, VPs and CPOs.- Working with 50+ innovative product teams to go from our private Alpha to public Beta- Driving vision for the future of product development in the AI era -

TravelCareer Break Aug 2022 - Nov 2022Having devoted a decade to relentless work in Data & AI through what came to be known as the "last" AI winter, and celebrating my recent green card status, I decided to grant myself what I thought would be a sabbatical "year" in August '22. As an immigrant to the US, you're limited on time between jobs (30-60 days), and I have been a bit of a workaholic. So this marked my first substantial time off in 11 years and presented a long-awaited opportunity to reconnect with loved ones back in other continents after COVID forced me and many others to stay in the same country for too long.My journey took me across the diverse landscapes of South America (Chile, Bolivia, Colombia), to the warm embrace of family in Spain, and further to bask in the culture of further lands. From Eastern Europe to the edge of the world, bearing witness to a breathtaking wedding in India after being overwhelmed by Turkey's historical treasures and the Himalayas' views.Throughout this time, I engaged in introspection, heavy reading, and writing, fostering the development of previously locked ideas and planning for the future. This invaluable period of personal growth re-energized my spirit. But then, suddenly... the unveiling of ChatGPT—an industry-transforming innovation in my own field!—compelled me to truncate my sabbatical to 5 months (but oh what months!). Coming back in full force, to continue applying practical AI to help companies and users. With a renewed sense of vigor, enriched by novel perspectives and enthusiasm gleaned from extraordinary adventure.
