Summary
Jesus Mancilla is a Senior AI Developer with a decade of experience building evaluation-driven GenAI systems that deliver measurable product outcomes, from retrieval/RAG stacks and vector DBs to LangGraph orchestration and lightweight agents. He combines a research-informed mindset (Stanford, Meta) with hands-on product impact—examples include cutting multipage doc classification from ~90 minutes to under 5, reducing PM reporting from 6 hours/week to <1, and supporting KPIs for a 500M+ MAU product. Skilled across Python and PyTorch, his strengths lie in problem framing, experimental design, retrieval quality evaluation, and latency/cost/quality trade-offs, plus reusable component design (embeddings, prompt templates, SDKs). He’s comfortable translating executive priorities into scalable technical roadmaps and data governance for enterprise AI, having co-founded Argomai and led platform work at Roku and Walmart. Based in Houston, he brings a hybrid background in quantitative UX research and applied ML, often blending behavioral log analysis with survey and longitudinal study methods to surface product-defining insights. An understated asset: he routinely operationalizes evaluation pipelines so model and prompt choices are driven by measurable metrics rather than intuition.
