Rory Mcelearney is an AI engineer and team lead with a decade of experience building NLP-driven automation and conversational interfaces for startups and enterprises. He has a strong track record as a hands-on technical founder and tech lead—architecting production ML/NLP systems, custom STT workflows, and full-stack platforms using Python, Node/Typescript, Go and cloud-native tooling. Rory combines product-focused rapid prototyping (e.g., demos and prototypes delivered in weeks) with operational rigor around testing, idempotency and CI/CD, and has led distributed teams across timezones. He co-founded Valencia Codes, growing it into the city’s largest English-language developer community, and has repeatedly translated domain knowledge into customer-facing demos and integrations (fintech payouts, CRM automation, support chatbots). Now based in Spain, he leads AI catalyst efforts at T-Systems Iberia, bringing entrepreneurial curiosity and a pragmatic bias for shipping while mentoring teams to work effectively asynchronously.
