Projects
Alfredo's AI Portfolio Assistant

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that powers Alfredo's AI assistant for portfolio and knowledge queries. It uses Gemini AI both for generating text embeddings and as the Large Language Model (LLM) for final responses, with embeddings stored and retrieved from Pinecone as the vector database. The architecture follows a data ingestion → embedding → vector storage → retrieval → LLM response pipeline, deployed as an API on AWS Elastic Beanstalk (PaaS). Designed for real-world use cases such as knowledge retrieval, document querying, AI-assisted research, and personal productivity.
