Principal Full-Stack Engineer & DevSecOps Architect

Fuentes Tech Hillsboro, Oregon, Remote

21 months

  • Architected an AI data-intelligence platform for a pharma marketing-research company, from the winning proposal to production in about nine months: LLMs and RAG on fine-tuned, self-hosted open-weight models (GPT-OSS, Llama, Qwen) running evaluations and complex math over huge datasets. Hired two developers and led a team of four; it became the main selling point of the client’s $600M+ acquisition.
