AI Lead & Builder

Hey, I'm Pedro 🧉

I build with AI and math. Currently AI Lead at Vera AI, an early-stage startup — and chasing something of my own on the side.

I write about what I learn along the way.

PS

Who I am

I'm an entrepreneur at heart who happens to love math and get obsessed with AI. I started out doing quantitative finance — applying math to markets — and now I work with LLMs and natural language at scale as AI Lead at Vera AI, an early-stage startup, where we ship fast and I learn a ton every week: RAG, LLM evals, and the messy reality of building AI that works. My dream isn't a unicorn or raising millions. It's building something of my own that pays the bills and gives me the freedom to live on my terms.

Outside the screen, I'm happiest a little out of my comfort zone. I've taught snowboarding, I ran a marathon, and I chase adrenaline where I can find it. I travel every time I get the chance — nothing opens my head like landing somewhere new and figuring it out. I'm also learning guitar, slowly and badly.

Projects

AI Legal Document Summarization
An automated system for generating judicial case summaries using Large Language Models, built for the Córdoba Provincial Courts. Applied LLMs to a real, high-stakes domain problem.
AI Recommendation System for E-commerce Sellers
My ongoing thesis: a recommendation system using Reinforcement Learning and Transformers that suggests actionable strategies for e-commerce sellers.
Outsiders
A progress-tracking app for professional snowboarders. I launched an MVP, but it never found product-market fit, so I closed it.
Lugarcito
A carpooling platform I co-founded and launched. I built all the backend logic using graph algorithms to match drivers and passengers by route. We got hundreds of ride searches and dozens of trips registered, but never reached the driver density it needed, so we closed it.
