Valerio Valente.
I build AI systems that survive contact with reality.
If your idea of fun is digging into the messy details instead of waving hands at slide decks, we are already friends. I spend most of my time turning data and machine learning into things that actually work outside a Jupyter notebook, which is where most "AI" quietly goes to die.
When I am not doing that, I am either outside pretending I have a balanced life, reading something I cannot put down, or deep into a manga binge I will regret the next morning. I also bake sourdough, which is controlled fermentation dressed up as a hobby.

Data Scientist InSilicoTrials Technologies
Synthetic data generation, agentic systems built on the Model Context Protocol, explainable AI, and Azure deployments. I also help turn rough ideas from clients into POCs that actually run.

Junior Data Scientist InSilicoTrials Technologies
Trained and shipped models on clinical data, wrote internal Python packages that took friction out of day-to-day ML work, and ran coding interviews and onboarding for new data scientists.

Junior Data Scientist Miraitek
RAG pipelines on AWS, anomaly-detection algorithms for industrial signals, and BI dashboards driven by SQL for manufacturing analytics.
Selected Projects
A few things I am proudest of.
-
2025
LLM multi-agent systems
Designed and contributed to several LLM systems, including a multi-agent setup with a Model Context Protocol server exposing specialised tools. Contributed upstream to the open-source mcpadapt library. (Model Context Protocol , mcpadapt )

FDA challenge, top-5 finish
Placed in the top five of an FDA precisionFDA challenge, representing my company on a RAG solution evaluated against regulatory standards. (Challenge results )

2024
POC studio
Built end-to-end proofs of concept for clients across manufacturing and life sciences. Most of the work was translating vague problem statements into minimum viable products that stakeholders could actually click on.
Side Quests
The hobbies are load-bearing.
- Sourdough
- Controlled fermentation dressed up as a hobby. Bread, pizza, anything involving yeast: irrationally into it.
- Reading
- Usually mid-book on something I can't put down. The current rotation lives on the reading shelf.
- Manga
- Occasional deep dives I will regret the next morning, and recommend the morning after that.
- Outdoors
- Pretending I have a balanced life. Hiking, long walks, anywhere with a view.

Hello
Say hi, share a draft, suggest a book.
The fastest reply paths are the social ones below. The form is fine too if a longer note is easier. Either way, I read everything.
