About

Where AI capability meets organizational readiness.

I published an AI-powered iOS app to the Apple App Store using Google's Gemini API and AI-assisted development. I launched La Portada PR, a bilingual news aggregation site for Puerto Rico, from concept to production. I set up automated end-to-end test suites with Microsoft Playwright against a production website. And I designed a context engineering system for AI-driven content production: voice architecture, hook taxonomy, ethical guardrails, and a multi-tool AI pipeline. That system achieved double the industry average engagement rate from a cold start.

My background in regulatory compliance (NEPA, ESA, CWA, NHPA), QA/QC program development, and multi-stakeholder coordination maps directly to the AI governance and integration challenges organizations face today. Currently deepening Python, agent architectures (LangChain/LangGraph), and AI evaluation methodologies.
