🚀 AI Architect @ NTT DATA Europe & Latam | SDLC & AI Strategy
Software Engineer with 25+ years bridging business vision and deep engineering. I act as a natural connector between both worlds: leading cross-functional AI adoption, establishing agentic governance and FinOps frameworks, and deploying software factories so hundreds of developers and business units multiply their real-world impact.
Currently AI Architect at NTT DATA Europe & Latam (Digital Architecture division), architecting agentic workflows and AI-driven operating models for teams of 800+ technology professionals across energy, banking, insurance and telecom clients.
Previously at Cencosud S.A., the AI-augmented SDLC I designed cut LLM spend by 75%, load times by 50%, server requests by 70% and time-to-market by 35% across 800+ developers.
- 💼 Current Role: AI Architect at NTT DATA Europe & Latam (Digital Architecture).
- 🔨 Current Focus: Context Engineering, LLM Orchestration, AI Governance and FinOps.
- 🚀 Flagship Projects: acp-connector (open-source bridge for AI coding agents), Momentum (organizational framework for AI-augmented micro-squads), and Workflow AI (agentic SDLC engine selected over Big Tech alternatives).
- 🌍 Open Source Author: Creator of Axioma (spec-driven development for AI agents, RFC), fastify-lm, job-seeker, react-tools, and mcp-vs-fnc.
- ✍️ Writes on: enterprise AI SDLC architectures, agent governance and context engineering.
