Hey, I'm Pablo Bello đź‘‹

Software Engineer & AI Student

About Me

From A Coruña, Spain 🇪🇸, now based in Boston, USA 🇺🇸. I'm a Master's in AI student at Boston University (merit scholarship), with a builder's mentality.

My journey into software began at 16, building automation systems to acquire exclusive items. That early experience was my true introduction to software, sparking a passion for turning ideas into reality through code and building solutions to complex problems.

Today, I channel that passion into an obsession with quality and detail. My goal is to combine my academic training in AI with a practical builder's mentality to create software that is both intelligent and genuinely delightful to use.

Latest Projects

Experience

AI Research Assistant

University of Vigo (Remote)

July 2025 - Present

Contributing to a research paper on combating social media misinformation. I'm designing and building the core infrastructure for automated claim verification and evidence‑based response generation.

  • Engineering a Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline to perform automated claim verification on posts flagged as potential misinformation
  • Building a scalable vector knowledge base using FAISS to index thousands of fact‑checked claims, enabling real‑time semantic search for evidence retrieval
  • Integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) to synthesize retrieved evidence and generate concise, accurate rebuttal messages with source citations
  • Developing data ingestion and end‑to‑end evaluation scripts to ensure the system's robustness and accuracy

Freelance Automation Engineer

Self‑employed (Remote)

Dec 2020 - Sept 2024

I design and build custom software solutions with a focus on high‑throughput process automation in competitive web environments. My work centers on engineering systems that operate with speed, reliability, and precision under massive traffic.

  • Engineered and deployed purchase‑automation bots for leading e‑commerce platforms, covering the full flow from product monitoring to checkout in milliseconds
  • Implemented advanced anti‑bot evasion: CAPTCHA solving, browser‑fingerprint controls, and virtual‑queue navigation
  • Created high‑speed monitors for drops and stock changes in real time using web scraping and reverse‑engineering of private APIs
  • Managed network infrastructure with residential/datacenter proxy rotation to ensure high availability and avoid blocks

Software Engineer Intern

NTT Data
