About me

I’m Hector Pulido. I work 100% remote at the intersection of applied AI, software engineering and product. I started shipping machine learning to production in 2019, long before the LLM boom. My current focus is AI agents, LLMs and the architecture of web platforms that need to scale.

I keep learning. I paired a mechatronics engineering degree with a master in computational mathematics and another in data science with AI, all applied to product and backed by years of real projects in production.
