AI engineering portfolio

Trevor Santiago

AI engineer building full-stack, agentic, and LLM-powered systems.

I am moving from data science into AI engineering, with experience building data pipelines, ML/NLP workflows, and practical systems around messy real-world data.

Work

Technical writeups and builds

This section is ready for project writeups. The first entries will focus on AI-assisted content workflows and LLM-enriched data pipelines.

Add a Markdown file in src/content/work to publish one.

How I build

Practical systems around ambiguous workflows

Structure messy workflows

Turn ambiguous processes into clear states, inputs, interfaces, and review points.

Use models as components

Build around LLMs and tools where they improve text-heavy or judgment-heavy work.

Keep validation close

Design workflows with checks, evals, review, and failure handling near the output.

Ship practical interfaces

Care about the product layer: what the user sees, controls, trusts, and repeats.

About

From data science to AI engineering

My background is in applied data science: ML/NLP workflows, data pipelines, model-driven analysis, and systems built around imperfect real-world data. I am now focused on the engineering layer around AI: useful interfaces, reliable workflows, tool use, validation, and deployment.
