Alberto Reyes Castro | AI, Data & Technical Documentation Portfolio

Summary

I combine a physics background with applied AI, data analysis and technical writing to build clear, well-documented analytical and technical projects.

Currently pursuing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence Technology with Advanced Practice at Northumbria University, London Campus, with interests in machine learning, AI-assisted tooling, AIoT, scientific communication, automation and structured technical reporting.

My current personal project, ModelHawk, is a personal AI/ML prototype that audits Jupyter notebooks through static analysis, detects machine-learning workflow signals, generates technical risk summaries, produces AI examiner notes through a Gemini API route with Ollama local fallback, and exports professional LaTeX-based PDF reports.

Currently seeking part-time, internship and remote opportunities in AI, data analysis and technical documentation.

Featured Projects

Current personal build

ModelHawk — Static ML Notebook Audit Platform

Next.js prototype · Static ML audit engine · Gemini/Ollama AI examiner · LaTeX PDF reports

Personal AI/ML prototype that audits Jupyter notebooks through static analysis, detects project profile, data modality, machine-learning workflow signals, evaluation risks and portfolio-readiness indicators, then generates AI examiner notes through a Gemini API route with Ollama local fallback and deterministic fallback behaviour.

The full workflow currently runs best from a local development environment because PDF generation depends on LaTeX/pdflatex, and the local AI fallback depends on Ollama. A stable hosted demo is planned after improving the deployment strategy for PDF generation and local-service-dependent features.

Final Degree Project — Ferroelectricity and Ferroelasticity

Manuscript potential based on this work.

BSc Physics thesis written in English on the structural mechanisms of ferroelectricity and ferroelasticity in β′-RE₂(MoO₄)₃ compounds. The work involved crystallographic analysis, neutron and X-ray diffraction, Rietveld and Le Bail refinement, amplimode analysis and long-form scientific reporting in LaTeX.

Vizro/Dash Rendering Regression Analysis

Helped reproduce and isolate a Vizro/Dash tab-rendering regression by comparing dependency versions, testing pure Dash behaviour and narrowing the issue beyond Plotly graph rendering. The analysis was acknowledged by a Vizro maintainer and helped narrow down the bug for the fix planned in Vizro 0.1.57.
