👋🏼 Hi, my name is María!

I'm an AI engineer (since way before it was cool) with a builder's mindset and founding-engineer energy.

I'm currently on sabbatical, traveling and coding while exploring collaborations and meeting teams who bring a strong applied-research mindset with a real bias toward building and shipping. I care about building ambitious, thoughtful AI systems with clean design and reliable technology, and I love working closely with people who genuinely want to make things that matter.

Former Siri engineer at Apple, where I led the international data strategy for Siri within Apple Intelligence. Specializing in localization and production evaluation, I successfully shipped and improved models across 41 markets.

Previously, I co-designed and built the core ML infrastructure for automated fact-checking at Newtral, developing custom claim detection and similarity models from scratch. The system was so innovative it was recognized by the industry as a breakthrough in the field.


My main areas of research and interest are in llm memory, data generation, localization and production evaluation.

If you're working on something meaningful and think our work could align, let's chat!
