About Jorge Castañón
I’ve spent over a decade helping organizations make AI real for business — not just proofs of concept, but production systems that deliver measurable value.Today, I lead IBM’s AI Client Engineering team across the Americas, where we design and deploy agentic AI solutions powered by watsonx and multi-agent orchestration to solve challenges in IT, HR, finance, and beyond.My technical foundation comes from a Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice University, where I built machine learning and optimization models for image processing and dimensionality reduction. On LinkedIn, I share hands-on stories from the field: lessons learned, behind-the-scenes demos, and practical ways teams are adopting agentic AI responsibly and at scale. Follow me if you’re curious about what happens when AI moves from the lab to the enterprise — and how to make it succeed: & followMember=jorgecasta
