Hi, I’m Christian Mendieta.
My journey began as a software engineer, but truly took shape as I moved into project and program management for analytics and data-driven initiatives. For over a decade, I’ve led cross-functional teams, steered complex analytics projects, and found solutions to the kind of challenges that keep both business leaders and tech teams up at night.
Along the way, I learned the value of communication and collaboration—bridging business goals with technical execution to turn data into genuine business outcomes.
My growing fascination with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the challenges of turning theory into practice led me deeper into this field. I’ve seen firsthand how promising AI projects can get stuck—whether due to dependency chaos, misaligned expectations, runaway cloud costs, or privacy concerns. As someone who’s managed both the people and the process, I know these setbacks are just as much organizational as they are technical.
What I discovered is that the right tools and mindset can make all the difference. By combining my project management experience with hands-on skills in Docker, MLOps, data engineering, and large language models (LLMs), I now help organizations move beyond buzzwords to build practical, scalable AI solutions.
I specialize in:
- End-to-end project/program leadership for AI and advanced analytics (from roadmap to deployment)
- AI adoption strategy and stakeholder alignment
- Self-hosted large language models for privacy, compliance, and cost-effectiveness
- Building reproducible, scalable environments for ML and analytics teams (with Docker, MLOps, and modern DevOps)
- Training and upskilling teams to thrive in a data-driven world
Whether you’re an executive seeking measurable value, an analytics lead looking to modernize workflows, or a tech professional eager to upskill, I’m here to help you move from idea to impact—without the overwhelm or the noise.
Curious how machine learning, AI, or advanced analytics can move your organization forward?
Let’s talk. I love conversations that start with business needs and end with working solutions.
