About Me

Who Am I?

Hi, I’m Sebastian Correa. I’m an AI Engineer and Product Leader with 9+ years of experience turning advanced machine learning into real products. I work at the intersection of LLMs, RAG, autonomous agents, and MLOps — translating complex research into scalable, high-impact platforms.

I currently serve as Chief Product Officer (CPO) at KIU System Solutions, leading product strategy for AI-powered automation across enterprise software. Previously, I led Product and AI initiatives at Metaphysic.ai and built biometric identity verification products at Veridas. I’m hands-on when needed, but I’m strongest at aligning teams, roadmaps, and KPIs to ship reliable systems — with a strong focus on security, privacy, and responsible AI.
