Alex Santos is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 8 years of experience designing and deploying scalable, real-time ML systems across cybersecurity, news intelligence, and finance. He has led AI team formation at the European Commission, integrating privacy-conscious, open-source LLM solutions for incident triage, and previously improved engagement and redundancy in high-throughput RAG and clustering pipelines at Klue. Deeply practical, Alex combines hands-on fine-tuning (LoRA/qLoRA), vector search, and production tooling (k8s, Docker, FastAPI, Pinecone) to move models from research into robust APIs processing millions of documents. He also teaches applied calculus for ML and has a diverse academic background spanning aerospace engineering to a Master's in AI, reflecting an unusual blend of systems thinking and mathematical rigor. Colleagues rely on him for cross-functional leadership, mentoring, and setting technical vision that aligns ML research with operational impact.
