# Hi, I'm Milton Barrera

I'm a **Data Scientist** from **Costa Rica**. At **TekDatum** I build AI systems — currently focused on **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)**, connecting large-scale knowledge bases to generative models. I come from a strong software-engineering background: a patch merged into the **Linux kernel**, open-source maintenance of an **OpenStreetMap** app with 50k+ downloads, and a habit of turning messy, real-world data into things that actually work.
