About Luis A.

I help researchers, startups, and technical teams turn math-heavy ideas into clean, reliable ML systems—from research prototypes to production-grade LLM/RAG applications. My work sits at the intersection of probabilistic ML, deep learning, and robust engineering, with a strong focus on correctness, evaluation, and maintainability.

Strengths: bridging theoryimplementation; designing uncertainty-aware methods; implementing in Python/PyTorch; delivering well-tested modules with clear docs and reproducible results.

LLM/RAG delivery:
  • End-to-end RAG pipelines: ingestion → chunking → embeddings → vector search → re-ranking → citation/attribution → evaluation
  • Guardrails, monitoring, security-minded design, and cost/latency optimization
  • Integration with existing stacks: APIs, databases, auth, and data governance
Highlights:
  • PhD in AI/ML.
  • Peer-reviewed publications (ICLR/ICML/AISTATS/NeurIPS/JAIR)
  • Open-source PyTorch implementations adopted by multiple academic groups
  • University teaching (Python programming, Bayesian methods) and high-quality technical documentation

Team option (AI + Architecture)
For full-stack AI delivery I partner with Jesús Segado Fernández (#jesussegadofernandez) (Senior Software/DevOps Architect): — he covers platform architecture (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, security, observability) while I lead the ML/LLM layer.

Experience

  • Aalborg University
    Machine Learning Researcher
    RESEARCH
    February 2026 - Today (5 months)
    Copenhagen, Denmark
    Develop and apply probabilistic machine learning methods for large-scale biological and environmental data. The work includes uncertainty-aware representation learning, clustering, and prediction, with applications in metagenomic genome recovery, microbial biogeography, and ecological network analysis. The role combines methodological research in Bayesian inference and deep learning with close collaboration across genomics, ecology, and data science.
