Hi, hola, salut,

My name is Felipe Sanz and I'm a Data Scientist and Applied AI Engineer based in Austin, TX. I grew up in Colombia, moved to Switzerland for college and an early career in finance, then lived in Madrid, Spain for 4 years before landing in Austin.

I have worked with data my entire career, moving across the stack from data capture to analysis to machine learning model development. Most recently, I have worked on designing useful AI systems that deliver tangible and measurable results. This includes AI memory architecture, observability, and evaluation.

I deeply believe there is a mismatch between how AI is being adopted now and how it should be adopted if we want it to act in favor of humanity and not to its detriment. This is what I write about: an opinionated view of how to create AI for good.

In the future I plan to include my personal projects here, as well as some of my "vetted resources" that I think are legit and keep coming back to.

The best way to follow my activity is and .

I hope you find something here worth your time.

I write every article in English, Spanish and French. Use the globe icon above to toggle between languages.
