Francisco MinguezData & AI

Independent Data Scientist & ML Engineer

I design and evaluate applied ML, RAG and data systems.

My work covers RAG evaluation, data engineering, data quality and analytics. I make the criteria, evidence and limitations explicit so the work can be tested and reviewed.

Working across

  • Applied machine learning
  • RAG Reliability Audit
  • Data engineering and quality
  • Analytics and BI

01 / Capabilities

What I work on

Practical areas I take on, organised around delivery problems rather than disconnected tools or tutorial exercises.

Applied AI systems

Machine learning, RAG, retrieval and LLM evaluation designed around explicit quality criteria and operational constraints.

  • Applied machine learning
  • Retrieval and evaluation
  • NLP and document workflows

Data foundations

Pipelines, data quality and analytical workflows built for reproducibility, observability and clear ownership.

  • Data engineering
  • PySpark and Databricks
  • Data quality and validation

Decision analytics

Analytics, forecasting and BI work that turns technical outputs into information people can evaluate and act on.

  • Analytics and BI
  • Forecasting
  • Technical communication

02 / Approach

A delivery process that makes assumptions and trade-offs visible.

  1. 01

    Frame

    Clarify the business problem, users, constraints, evidence and definition of success.

  2. 02

    Build

    Implement the smallest coherent solution with typed boundaries, reproducible tooling and maintainable structure.

  3. 03

    Evaluate

    Test behaviour, data quality and model or retrieval performance using criteria suited to the actual risk.

  4. 04

    Communicate

    Explain results, limitations, operating requirements and next decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

03 / Evidence

What the published work shows.

Published case studies document the problem, approach, evaluation method, trade-offs and production considerations, including what the evidence does and does not support.

RAG Reliability

Synthetic portfolio study

A proprietary product direction for deciding when a RAG system should answer or defer. The evidence published here comes from a synthetic answer/defer study.

Read case study

Data quality audit

Interactive demo in development

Profiling, validation rules, anomalies and decision-ready reporting.

Pipeline modernisation

Verified professional work

Reproducible data workflows, testing, observability and handover.

Read case study

Review the work, then tell me about the problem.

Look through the services and published case studies, then get in touch to discuss the current system, the decision that matters and the constraints involved.

For small-business projects, I am also building MigaDigital, a separate initiative focused on practical data, automation and AI work. Visit MigaDigital (Website currently in Spanish)
