Nicolas Airolde

ML Engineer & Agentic PM

I build real-time intelligence systems out of Buenos Aires. Most of my work lives somewhere between ML, data engineering, and product thinking. The through-line is taking noisy, fast-moving signals and making them useful before they go stale.

I've spent enough time on both sides of the table to know what makes a system actually ship versus what makes a great demo. I can write the model training loop and I can tell you why the feature shouldn't exist. Both matter.

In practice that means OSINT platforms, predictive pipelines, and agentic workflows, mostly for teams where getting it wrong is expensive. I like building software that still works when nobody's watching.
