Jose Lazo-Flores

Most AI projects stall between proof-of-concept and daily use. I help SMB teams cross that gap by designing, building, and deploying production AI systems, plus running corporate AI workshops that turn teams from AI-curious to AI-fluent. Ph.D. in Physics, 10+ years in data science, and four years inside Credit Suisse working on regulated, large-scale analytics.

Although my latest industry experience is in financial services, the methodology travels, any team handling complex data, regulated processes, or knowledge-intensive work benefits from the same approach.

I focus on building next-generation AI solutions, including:

• LLM-powered internal assistants

• Agentic AI workflows (LangGraph, OpenAI APIs)

• Intelligent research and knowledge systems

• Time-series ML models for trading and forecasting

• Risk analytics and financial data pipelines

• End-to-end AI prototypes (from idea to deployment)

I work at the intersection of:

•Machine Learning

•Generative & Agentic AI

•Financial analytics

•Scalable data engineering

What differentiates me:

✔ Experience in a global Tier-1 bank

✔ Strong understanding of regulation and risk

✔ Ability to translate complex AI into business value

✔ Scientific rigor combined with pragmatic delivery

✔ Former CTO & startup co-founder

I can support you with:

•AI strategy and prototyping

•Custom LLM integrations

•Data pipeline architecture

•Risk & compliance analytics

•Executive AI advisory

•Technical mentoring and workshops

Based in Switzerland (C Permit) – available for remote and on-site collaboration.
