Álvaro Diez de Pablos

AI Platform Engineer at BNP Paribas. I build and run our internal coding agent — a Claude Code style CLI that our engineers use every day, at billions of tokens a month in production. I own the harness behind it: the tool-calling loop, sessions and checkpointing, context engineering and compaction, permissioning and cost control.

Before agents I spent five years on the less glamorous half of this job: MLOps at BNP Paribas, where I took model retraining and deployment from months down to hours, and before that a wind power forecasting system processing terabytes a day of meteorological data.

I also teach Big Data to fourth-year Mathematics students at UNIE.


What I'm building

endstate — agent evals that grade the end state, not the output

Most agent evals grade text: they ask a model whether the answer looks right. That's cheap to build and easy to game. endstate throws away everything the agent said and asserts against what it left behind — did the test suite go green, is there a secret in the diff, did it refuse the destructive command, did it survive being killed halfway through.

The end state is gameable too, which is the half most write-ups skip. So every task pins its test files by hash, refuses new skip markers, confines changes to permitted paths, and runs held-out tests that were never in the sandbox.

22 tasks in disposable Docker containers · deterministic graders that never see the transcript, enforced by signature · a mutation check that removes each guard and proves the suite notices · 344 tests · mypy --strict

pip install endstate

Docs · How agents actually work — a walk through harness internals: the loop, the sandbox boundary, permissioning, compaction, checkpoint durability

pysuricata — exploratory data analysis built on streaming algorithms

Profiles a DataFrame in a single pass, with memory that stays bounded no matter how large the data is. Welford/Pébay for exact moments, KMV sketches for distinct counts, Misra-Gries for heavy hitters, reservoir sampling for quantiles. Pandas, Polars and LazyFrames; output is one self-contained HTML file with no external assets.

Big Data course labs — open materials for the course I teach at UNIE

Out-of-core computing and storage formats, streaming and sketching algorithms, distributed systems from first principles, Spark, Airflow, Slurm.

cka-practice — eleven mock CKA exams solved against a real cluster

The grader inspects the cluster's actual state, not an answer key. Same idea as endstate, applied to Kubernetes.


Also, for fun: 2048 — RL agents (DQN, CNN) trained with PyTorch on MPS, Rust core compiled to WebAssembly. And Tetris — pure-Rust engine in WASM with SRS wall kicks, 7-bag randomiser, and AI opponents.
