AI Engineer · NLP Researcher
Anderson Morillo
Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia
I build NLP and AI systems end to end — from RAG-based chatbots and fine-tuned transformers to real-time data platforms — and ship them with Docker, FastAPI, and cloud infrastructure.
Interests
- Natural Language Processing and LLMs
- Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
- Conversational AI
- Production ML (FastAPI, Docker, ONNX)
- Real-time data platforms and ETL
