Pilar Carrera Monterde
Computer Science and AI Engineer
I design and build user-centered digital experiences with a strong UI/UX focus, from early wireframes to polished, responsive interfaces.
I care about clear information architecture, visual hierarchy, and interaction patterns that feel intuitive across devices.
My work combines product thinking with technical execution: translating user needs into accessible, usable interfaces while collaborating closely with engineering teams.
I’m especially interested in turning complex workflows into simple, efficient experiences that users can trust.
