Artificial Intelligence Engineer

AstraZeneca (contract via Hybrid Mind) · Freelance · Mar 2026 - Present

Barcelona, Spain · Remote

• Agentic Pipelines: Design and build LLM agent pipelines for enterprise data workflows with LangGraph.
• Agent Evaluation: Define evaluation suites for agent reliability — accuracy, faithfulness, tool use, cost — using LangSmith tracing and offline/online evals.
• Semantic Modelling: Model a semantic layer and domain ontology / knowledge graph over enterprise data so agents query modelled entities and relationships rather than raw tables.

Skills: Python, LangGraph, LangSmith, LLM Evaluation, Agent Systems, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Layer

Senior Data Scientist

Meight · Dec 2024 - Feb 2026 · 1 yr 2 mo

Évora, Portugal · Remote

• LLM Agents: Designed the company's agent evaluation framework, combining classical ML metrics with LLM-as-a-judge evaluation (faithfulness, cost) to validate agent reliability before production.
• Tour Optimization: Developed freight planning algorithms that integrate real-time telematics and EU regulatory compliance (Reg. 561/2006) to optimize driver schedules.

Skills: Python, Go, LLM Evaluation (DeepEval), Agent Systems, Route Optimization

Senior Data Scientist
