About

Hola, I'm Miguel, an ML / AI Engineer who learns (and teaches) by building. I went from studying spacetime curvature and quantum field theory to creating real-world ML systems, from recommender engines in fashion to complex agentic workflows for insurance companies. Along the way, I realized good models aren't enough ... you've got to engineer the whole system to make AI actually work. Now I share what I learn through The Neural Maze, my way of helping others build AI that goes beyond the lab. Always learning, always building, and always up for a good chat about math, systems, and how to make AI useful. - ✉️ Email: [email protected] 💻 The Neural Maze: https://theneuralmaze.substack.com/
