I've spent 15+ years in operations across heavily regulated industries. These days, I build AI systems that actually work in production, not just in demos.

Who I am

I studied Industrial Engineering at Universidad de los Andes and got my MBA at EAE Business School in Madrid. Over 15 years I've worked in agroindustry, pharmaceutical cannabis, glass manufacturing, and automotive. Different worlds, same core problem: how do you get complex operations to run better?

Three years ago I went all-in on AI. Not the hype, the real thing: computer vision models running on factory floors, WhatsApp agents that farmers actually use, automation that replaced hours of manual SAP data entry. Everything I build has to connect to a P&L somewhere.

In 2025 I started Onza AI to help other companies in Colombia and LATAM do the same. I also run AI at Oleoflores, where we have 4 palm oil extraction plants and a lot of interesting problems to solve.

How I design AI solutions

Every project follows this path. No shortcuts.

01

Understand

What's the actual business problem? I talk to operators, look at the data, sit in on the process. No solutioning yet.

02

Diagnose

Where does AI actually help vs. where a spreadsheet fix is enough? I map data sources, gaps, and integration points.

03

Architect

Pick the right stack. Design the pipeline. Define how it connects to ERP, BI, or messaging. Plan for what breaks.

04

Build & ship

Prototype fast, test with real users, iterate. Deploy to production with monitoring. I don't hand off decks, I hand off working systems.

What I've built

These are real systems running in production, not proofs of concept.

AI Speaking & Training

I teach AI to people who aren't engineers

Most AI training is too technical for the people who need it most. I've given 5+ webinars to corporate audiences in Mexico (Grupo Mexico, among others) and Colombia, specifically for non-technical teams. At Oleoflores, I run internal sessions for operations, logistics, and purchasing.

  • 🎤 Translation: Complex AI concepts into practical business language
  • ⚖️ Responsible AI: Governance, data privacy, and ethical AI awareness
  • 🚀 Adoption: Safe experimentation and AI adoption for operational teams
