Software engineer · AI infrastructure

Hi, I'm Carlos. I build AI systems in restricted environments.

I build and operate on-premise AI infrastructure and LLM systems where security and reliability matter. I bring more than six years of production engineering experience across automotive, energy, and industrial technology.

What I'm working on

Production AI, from the infrastructure underneath it to the tools people use every day.

At Rohde & Schwarz, I serve Mistral, Qwen, and GLM models with vLLM on Kubernetes, OpenShift, and ArgoCD in a high-security environment.

  • Designed ways to adapt on-premise model execution to demand using Run:ai, vLLM, and DCGM GPU metrics.
  • Built Grafana dashboards that make AI infrastructure health and model usage clear to engineers and management.
  • Built MCP servers and Skills that extend what AI agents can do across the company.
  • Integrated Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode into enterprise development workflows under strict on-premise requirements.
  • Took ownership of production systems and helped onboard colleagues beyond my defined role.

I also help people put these tools to work. I've delivered agentic coding sessions for engineers and management and driven AI upskilling for more than 50 engineers, including our Spain location. My R&D interests include AI audio, music generation with Stability AI models, and TTS workflows with Parakeet v3 and Nemotron 3.5.

Earlier team projects

2020

Hyperloop UPV GUI

California, USA

I contributed to the team's graphical interface for monitoring a Hyperloop prototype, with views for motors, brakes, batteries, and raw data.

Writing and teaching

I share what I'm learning about AI tools and the way we work with them.
