Principal AI Scientist Data Engineering Scientist
AI Science, Data Science, and Engineering
As an AI Scientist, I perform a wide range of intricate technical activities, beginning with analyzing and interpreting complex datasets to understand and reveal the underlying patterns and trends. This task not only involves choosing the right statistical techniques but also making sure that the data is processed and cleaned correctly. Then I use this data to create, test and fine-tune complex machine learning models that can effectively mimic human intelligence. In addition, I often need to deploy various AI techniques such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, or natural language processing for this task. Once the models are developed and normalized, I work towards integrating them into applications and functionality to drive efficiency and innovation. Lastly, I continually monitor and optimize these models to ensure they are functioning effectively and delivering accurate results.
When it comes to machine learning model development, I meticulously construct and fine-tune algorithms, ensuring optimal performance. As part of my engineering responsibilities, I also develop and manage large-scale databases and data pipelines, ensuring seamless data flow and efficient storage. Maintaining strict quality control is a crucial part of my role, always ensuring data integrity and accuracy. My work doesn’t stop at analysis and model development; I continually monitor and adjust these models based on changing data trends and business needs, maintaining their relevancy and effectiveness. Through my thorough and rigorous approach, I ensure that my organization can leverage data to its full potential, guiding strategic decision-making and fueling continuous growth.
AI Model Development
A significant chunk of my work revolves around AI Model Development, a process that entails a series of complex and meticulous steps. It begins with a keen understanding of the problem at hand and identifying the specific goals of the AI model. To tackle this, I usually engage in a thorough data gathering process, employing advanced methods to extract, clean, and process the necessary data. Following this, I explore various machine learning techniques to construct a model that fits our objectives – this could range from supervised learning methods to unsupervised ones, or even deep learning algorithms, depending on the complexity of the task. Once the initial model is developed, I apply feature engineering methods to enhance the model’s performance. Training and validating the model using the prepared dataset comes next, a process I repeat iteratively – testing and tuning hyperparameters until the model displays optimal performance. Post-development, I meticulously evaluate the model against unseen data to ensure accuracy and reliability. Lastly, I also take on the responsibility of maintaining the model over time, making necessary adjustments and updates as new data or business requirements emerge. Through this comprehensive process, I ensure that the AI models I develop are robust, accurate, and capable of delivering valuable insights or automations.
Data Analysis
Conducting data analysis is a fundamental component of my role. It initiates with understanding the problem at hand and procuring the relevant data from diversified sources. Once I gather the data, I begin the rigorous process of cleaning and preprocessing it, removing irregularities, handling missing values, and standardizing the format to ensure coherence. This cleaned data is then extensively utilized to explore correlations, trends, and patterns, employing advanced statistical techniques and data visualization tools. I also segment the data to create distinct groups, which can be important for understanding the patterns within specific subsets. I leverage machine learning algorithms and AI-based models to facilitate my analysis, continuously refining these models to elevate the overall analytical efficiency. This intensive data analysis process equips me to provide strategic insights and design robust AI systems that can transform raw data into actionable knowledge.
AI Strategy Formulation
A significant component of my role involves AI Strategy Development. My responsibilities start with understanding the organizational goals and identifying potential opportunities where AI can provide a competitive advantage or improve operational efficiencies. After reviewing current business processes, data sources, and technologies, I develop an AI implementation plan that integrates new AI capabilities with existing systems. I prioritize the projects with the highest potential ROI and chart a roadmap that includes the necessary resources, timelines, and success metrics. I often collaborate with various stakeholders, including data engineers, software developers, and senior management, to ensure alignment with business needs. Incorporating continuous learning from the latest AI trends and breakthroughs, I advise on the best machine learning models or AI tools that will optimize results. Fundamentally, the AI strategies I devise aim to leverage AI capabilities to offer transformative solutions and drive sustainable growth within the organization.
Research, Teaching and Learning (Adjunct Associate Professor)
As an AI Scientist teaching a cloud computing course, I’ve cultivated a seamless synergy between research, teaching, and learning. My research work in AI and data science forms the bedrock of my teaching, providing real-world context and practical insights to theoretical concepts. I constantly refine my curriculum based on cutting-edge developments in the field, ensuring my teachings are always relevant and up to date. Sharing my findings on the intricate dynamics of AI and cloud computing offers students a unique perspective on burgeoning technologies. In learning, I actively encourage my students to delve into their own research, fostering a sense of inquiry, innovation, and active learning. Coupled with a hands-on approach, wherein they get to apply learned concepts to real-world scenarios via cloud computing platforms, it shapes their understanding profoundly. Throughout this journey, I value and facilitate constant learning for myself too, staying abreast of the latest advancements. This reciprocal rhythm between research, teaching, and learning is what makes my role as an AI Scientist and educator truly fulfilling and impactful.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, United States of America and son of a foreign student who graduated from the United States Air Force Academy, Dr. Castillo was raised in Tempe, Arizona. Dr. Castillo served his country in the United States Marine Corps from 1991 to 1997, where he attained the rank of Sergeant. Cited by superior officers as a “born leader,” “a team player,” and “head and shoulders above his peers,” he was awarded multiple commendations during his military career.
Dr. Castillo was conferred by the University of Phoenix with the degree of Doctor of Management in Organizational Leadership with a Specialization in Information Systems and Technology (Cloud Computing), (Doctoral Study: A Quantitative Study of the Relationship between Leadership Practice and Strategic Intentions to use Cloud Computing).
The purpose of the study was to explore the use of a theoretical model that links leadership practice, attitudes of business process outsourcing, and strategic intention to use cloud computing, while also exploring the individual relationships between leadership practice and intention to use cloud computing, leadership practice and attitudes toward business process outsourcing, and attitudes toward business process outsourcing and the strategic intention to use cloud computing. A quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional structural equation model (SEM) was used in the research.
Five questions guided the study:
- Does a theoretical model consisting of leadership practice, attitudes of business process outsourcing, and strategic intention of leadership to use cloud computing fit observed data?
- Is there a relationship between leadership practice and strategic intentions of leadership to use cloud computing?
- Is there a relationship between leadership practice and attitudes toward business process outsourcing?
- Is there a relationship between attitudes toward business process outsourcing and strategic intention of leadership to use cloud computing?
- Is there a relationship between leadership practice and strategic intentions of leadership to use cloud computing with attitudes toward business process outsourcing as a mediator?
