whoami: Matias Varela
I'm currently working as a Junior SWE @ UBS . Specializing in AI execution and enablement, I've had the opportunity to work on numerous projects including AI-driven vulnerability management systems using Autogen and LangGraph, SOC incident handling workflows, and more. Being able to contribute to software that protects enterprises at scale is what strengthens my drive to keep building, and learning.
