I turn early AI prototypes into production-ready products.

I work inside client teams to move AI from a promising demo to a dependable product, reducing delivery risk and getting measurable business value into production sooner.

About

Hello! I'm Tomás Tapia, a GenAI Forward Deployed Engineer with 19+ years in software engineering, architecture, and technical delivery. I work inside client teams, translating business needs into production-ready systems and staying involved from discovery through deployment and support.

My recent work centers on generative AI: RAG pipelines, embeddings, vector search, AI agents, and MCP, using Google Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, and PostgreSQL with pgvector. I connect models to real knowledge sources, including documents and relational databases, and design the APIs and data models around them.

I'm hands-on across the stack: TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, Go, Java, and Python; REST APIs, microservices, and event-driven integrations; AWS, GCP, Azure, and Cloudflare; and Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. I weigh security, maintainability, performance, cost, and delivery speed, and I document decisions so teams can keep moving after I leave.

I also mentor engineers and work closely with customer engineering, security, infrastructure, and business teams. If you're moving an early AI prototype toward production, let's connect.

If you're building with AI and want to talk about production delivery, let's connect.
