Mexico City, MX (open to relocation · US ET overlap) · azahid.garcia@gmail.com
Applied AI Engineer specializing in LLM evaluation, agentic workflows, and multi-agent orchestration in Python and TypeScript/Next.js. I design eval loops, adversarial benchmark tasks, and structured output contracts that make model quality measurable — and quality degradation visible before it reaches users. At Outlier I design adversarial evaluation tasks that stress-test reasoning limits in frontier AI models (Terminal Bench 3.0); at Strivark, the B2B AI platform I founded, I ship LLM products to paying enterprise clients. Four years of enterprise consulting (WMS/ERP across LATAM and EMEA) means I sit comfortably at the boundary between an ambiguous business problem and the engineering decision that resolves it.
