Hello, my name is Luis. I am 33 years old living in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Currently I am working as a Generative AI Lead & Technology Project Manager at Hexagon Innovation Hub, where I design and implement AI-driven innovations, orchestrate transformative projects, and lead cross-functional teams towards exceeding our technological goals, bridging the gap between academic AI research and industry applications.

I am proud to be part of the Image & Point Cloud Analytics team, where I fuse technological advancements with real-world user needs, translating complex challenges into actionable, state-of-the-art AI-powered solutions. My role allows me to combine analytical problem-solving with creative ideation, shaping the very future of reality capture with AI.

In the past, I collaborated with universities on diverse research projects, helped startups skyrocket their growth using AI, designed and developed a complete real-time software stack for LiDAR processing for an top automotive OEM and collaborated with multidisciplinary experts, translating complex problems into actionable AI-powered solutions on multiple fields.

I discovered my passion for Artificial Intelligence and Project Management over a decade ago and have remained committed to pushing the boundaries of my personal knowledge and skills. Today, I am diving deep into areas like explainable AI, AI-powered automation, Machine Learning Operations (MLOps), and tailoring AI models for edge computing to bring innovation to the forefront and generate exceptional business value.

I write about all the stuff I am exploring under my personal notes and you can find me on linkedIn, X(twitter) @luislofer89 or Instagram

✅ I’m currently engrossed in developing efficient models for real time on-device applications, unleashing the potential of AI in Reality Capture.

✅ Leading initiatives that focus on tayloring AI workflows for sustainable and data efficient training processes.

✅ Excited about building a platform for the use of LLMs as a reasoning engine to eliminate the direct interaction between custormers and technical documentation.

🌱 Always enhancing my knowledge, I’m currently delving into the synergy between blockchain and AI, along with the improvement of leadership and project management skills.

👯 Keen to collaborate on ambitious projects, especially AI-for-good initiatives or innovations that drive both mental and phisical well-being.

💬 Reach out if you want to discuss the future of AI, its ethical considerations, or its convergence with other emerging technologies.

⚡ Fun fact: Tried teaching an AI model my native language's slang. The results? Hilariously off-mark! However, I am not giving up and I am trying again by using Llama2 and Seamless-M4T.

I'm of the opinion that one shouldn't strictly adhere to a specific technology stack. Instead, it's crucial to adapt based on the customer's needs and challenges. What follows is a brief overview of my preferred technologies spanning machine learning, cloud, and other non-ML frameworks.
