About Juan Pablo

I’m a generative AI engineer and fiction writer in Sonoma, California. I build systems that learn to think in context. I write to dig for truth.

Background

I’m Juan Pablo. I build generative AI and write fiction. My work lies where language meets emotion and systems.

I started in natural language processing. For years, I helped teams find meaning in messy data—intelligence analysis, storytelling tools, you name it. These days, I care less about optimizing and more about being present. I build tools I trust. I write the stories I need to write.

Sometimes you’ll find me leading an AI project. Sometimes I’m in a sunlit corner, Jessy nearby, writing. I keep chasing that spot where purpose meets presence. This site marks the trail.

Education

I earned my M.S. in Data Science from American University, where I learned to see the world as patterns and questions. There, I built my base in statistics and machine learning, driven by a curiosity about language and how people connect. That’s where I learned to think in models and, more important, to ask the right questions.

Skills

I build generative AI systems. I design, deploy, and test them. Python, FastAPI, LangChain, and Hugging Face are my daily tools. I’ve run models in the cloud. I keep pipelines running with GitHub Actions and Docker. I lead with a clear mind and an eye for new ideas.

I’m not just a coder. I see how systems fit together. I write. I fight for simple products.
