Pilar Carrera Monterde
Computer Science and AI Engineer
I focus on grounded AI systems, RAG pipelines, and dependable full-stack products. I
enjoy transforming complex ideas into practical, human-centered solutions.
Beyond building systems, I care deeply about developer experience and the tools engineers rely on every day. I’m particularly interested in productivity, debugging workflows, and performance optimization.
I’m passionate about bridging engineering depth with technical storytelling — making sophisticated tools approachable, practical, and genuinely useful for developers.
