Andrés Ruiz Calvo

AI Engineer at IBM — building production RAG pipelines, AI agents, and GenAI systems for enterprise clients.


About

AI Engineer at IBM where I architect production-grade Generative AI systems for IBM customers and business partners.

Beyond my work at IBM, I maintain Ad Astra AI—a technical blog documenting production-ready AI engineering projects, sharing deep-dives on building, deploying, and scaling real-world AI systems. My flagship project, SentiWiki AI, is an end-to-end agentic RAG system deployed on AWS ECS for querying ESA Copernicus Sentinel mission documentation.

Previously, one year as a Solutions Architect at Huawei gave me deep expertise in cloud architectures, which I've further validated through AWS, Databricks, and Anthropic certifications.

Currently also an Associate Professor in Machine Learning at UAX University, where I designed and deliver comprehensive curricula for Machine Learning I & Machine Learning II courses to 20+ undergraduate students in the AI & Computation degree program.

Current Roles

Projects

I'm building

F1 AI Race Engineer

An AI-assisted replay for finished Formula 1 weekends: interactive track maps, standings, tyre and pit strategy timelines, weather overlays, race-control messages, and short natural-language takeaways.

Built to turn timing data and session context into something you can explore end-to-end after the chequered flag.

Previous project

SentiWiki AI

An agentic RAG stack for Earth observation: Copernicus Sentinel mission docs indexed for retrieval, with orchestrated agents planning multi-step queries and grounding answers in cited passages.

Production-minded RAG — structured ingestion, retrieval with guardrails, and agent loops that favour clarity and traceability.
