AI systems you can explain and scale.

I'm Mauricio Alvarez. I build AI agents and automations that run in production, and I research interpretable computer vision, reinforcement learning and models that run on the device.

About

I care about understanding why a model decides what it decides, and about building what it takes for that answer to reach someone: the training, the API, the interface and the deployment.

I graduated in Computer Science from UTEC, in the top fifth of the programme, and today I work on Izipay's Data & Analytics team. My personal projects range from file structures written in C++ to native iOS apps and cloud services.
