AI Software Engineer · Maracaibo, Venezuela

Alvaro Avila

I build AI-powered products and lead the engineering behind them.

Computer engineer with 4+ years shipping software across web, backend, and mobile — now focused on applying AI agents and LLM integrations to real products, from first commit to production.

About

Engineering AI products, end to end

I'm a computer engineer from Maracaibo, Venezuela, working as a software and AI engineer. Over the past several years I've moved from building data pipelines to leading full product teams, and today I focus on where those two worlds meet: applying large language models and AI agents to software that has to work reliably in production, not just in a demo.

Since 2022 I've been tech lead on a multi-platform project at Moonshot Partners, maintaining and building across web, backend, and mobile codebases. Before that, I led engineering at MdTicket, where I designed and implemented a multi-platform system to replace a legacy stack and improve how the business ran day to day. Earlier roles took me through data engineering (Airflow pipelines and data quality work at Code for Venezuela), fullstack development (React and serverless backends at Cobuild Lab), and mobile/UX-focused app development (Ionic and Angular at Ubicutus Apps) — a path that's given me a genuinely full-stack view of how software gets built and maintained.

I hold a Computer Engineering degree from Universidad Simón Bolívar in Venezuela. Today I take that background and apply it to AI integration, custom software, and workflow automation for teams that want AI to actually ship, not just get prototyped.

Services

What I can build for you

Grounded in production experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs, and the infrastructure to run them reliably.

AI Integration & AI-Powered Apps

I design and build applications powered by LLMs — from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini integrations to retrieval and agent architectures — so AI features are reliable, not just a demo.

Custom Software Development

Full-stack web, backend, and mobile development using React, Angular, Django, and Node.js, deployed on modern cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, Vercel, Supabase, Docker, Terraform).

Workflow Automation & AI Agents

I automate the manual parts of a business with data pipelines and AI agents — from Airflow-driven data workflows to autonomous agents that handle real tasks end to end.
