About

I'm Carlos Simón Amador Izaguirre, most people call me Simón. I'm a Peruvian biomedical engineer building AI systems that move the needle in healthcare, with a focus on LLM products, medical computer vision, and deployable clinical decision-support tools.

I studied at Tecnológico de Monterrey and spent six months at the Fetal Neonatal Neuroimaging and Developmental Science Center (FNNDSC) from Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where I co-authored research on deep generative models for fetal brain anomaly detection.

Currently, I lead a team of three at Laboratorios Bagó del Perú, shipping GenAI products used by 120+ medical representatives and developing clinical tools targeting thousands of physicians. I work across the full stack: LLM orchestration, RAG pipelines, Dockerized services, Oracle SQL, A/B testing frameworks, analytics, and cross-functional change management.

I am open to opportunities in graduate study, research collaborations, and remote roles where rigorous AI engineering connects with real healthcare impact.
