Hey! I'm Carlos Valladarez, a software engineer from Cuenca, Ecuador. I've loved programming since I was a teenager, and for more than 4 years I've been building full-stack systems, from React and Next.js interfaces to Java, Python and Spring Boot backends.
I started in web development at Kodeliv, a startup among friends where React and Next.js became my favorite tools. Since then I've worked on payment gateways, banking software, a patient-management tool for a clinical research unit, and enterprise applications with a design system that cut time-to-market by 40%.
Today I work at Ensolvers, building AI-powered platforms: agentic workflows with LangGraph, RAG pipelines on top of vector databases, and the observability that keeps LLMs honest in production. I recently defended my thesis for a Master's in Artificial Intelligence, focused on RAG and generative AI workflows.
I like owning problems end to end, especially the ambiguous ones, and measuring whether a solution actually works. In my free time I build things like PAB, a Chrome extension that suggests the best move in Pokémon battles, backed by a neural network I trained.
I speak Spanish natively and English at an advanced level. If you have an interesting project in mind, don't hesitate to contact me. I'd love to hear about it!
