About

👋 Hi, I’m Javi. I’m a senior AI leader with 15+ years building and deploying large scale AI, from healthcare multimodal foundation models to enterprise LLM fine tuning. I’ve led teams across the UK, US, and India, shipped clinically deployed systems, and worked end to end from research to product, partnerships, and real world integration. 

Here’s what I’m best at mentoring:
1. AI leadership and org building: Hiring and shaping high performing teams, operating rhythms, stakeholder alignment, and translating strategy into execution.
2. Foundation models in healthcare: Radiology, pathology, oncology, screening: model design, evaluation, clinical workflow integration, and responsible deployment.
3. LLM post training and alignment: Instruction tuning, reinforcement learning style post training, robustness and evaluation for real enterprise use cases.
4. Agents and workflow automation: Tool using agents, code and workflow automation, retrieval plus planning, and computer use style agents.
5. Research to real world delivery: Turning prototypes into products: MLOps, privacy preserving ML, and navigating regulatory constraints like FDA 510(k) and ISO 13485.

My mentoring style:
Direct, structured, and outcome driven. We start from your immediate goal (career move, project, paper, product decision), then build the underlying system so you can repeat the win. Expect a simple weekly plan, fast feedback on your artifacts (docs, code, pitches), and clear decisions rather than endless options.

If you want to level up in applied AI leadership or ship real systems (not just demos), book a plan and we’ll use the trial week to align on goals and a concrete path.

Workeing with Javier has been an incredible experience. He brings a remarkable depth of knowledge and a wealth of real-world experience that makes every session genuinely valuable. What sets him apart is his ability to debug problems at lightning speed, he cuts through complexity quickly and gets straight to the root of an issue in a way that's both impressive and educational. Beyond his technical expertise, Javier is exceptionally well-articulated and a pleasure to communicate with. He explains concepts clearly, listens carefully, and makes even difficult topics feel approachable. If you're serious about professional growth in your career, I can't recommend Javier highly enough. He's exactly the kind of mentor who can help you level up, fast.
