I'm Franklin — an Data Engineer based in the Netherlands. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and learning new languages!
My primary programming language is Python, though over the years I’ve explored a variety of others — from C++ to Prolog — through university courses and professional experience. I have an academic background in AI and Data Science.
Professionally, I’ve worked as an Data Engineer with a strong focus on building and experimenting with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications — back when the field was just beginning to take off! I’ve worked with frameworks like LangChain, Semantic Kernel, and DSPy, diving deep into the fast-evolving world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their real-world applications.
My tooling experience spans across RedHat OpenShift, Azure, and Databricks for data and infrastructure, and I’ve primarily used Azure DevOps for deployment workflows. You could say I’ve explored a wide range of tools and approaches to help unlock the full potential of these powerful statistical models.
