Victor Camargo

Applied data scientist and AI engineer building reliable machine learning systems for real-world workflows.

I work across clinical NLP, LLM-assisted extraction, reproducible ML pipelines, and technical education - bringing scientific rigor to production systems and clear thinking to ambiguous problems.

A technical practice shaped by physics, machine learning, and teaching.

My background spans a PhD in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology, a master's in Complex Systems Modeling, and applied work across healthcare data infrastructure and AI/ML systems.

At Carta Healthcare, I built ETL and NLP pipelines for clinical data, standardized heterogeneous sources into HL7- and FHIR-compliant formats, and integrated LLM-assisted extraction into registry workflows. At TripleTen, I mentor learners through end-to-end machine learning projects with a strong emphasis on evaluation rigor, failure analysis, and production-minded thinking.

Machine Learning Starts Before the Model

In real systems, the hardest part of machine learning is often not the algorithm. It is the work of making data coherent, reliable, and usable enough for modeling to matter.

Scientific Reasoning for Applied AI

A scientific background is useful in applied AI not because it makes the work abstract, but because it trains you to question assumptions, isolate variables, and take evidence seriously.
