Backend Engineer · Founder-minded Builder · Buenos Aires

RAMIRO
CARNICER

I build backend systems, AI products, and internet experiments from zero.

Currently engineering at Mercado Libre and building Khora — an AI-native product for organizational intelligence. Based in Buenos Aires.

Currently building Khora Backend Systems · Agent Workflows · Early-stage Product

Selected Builds

01 / ARCHIVE

Expertise

Backend Systems

Scalable APIs, microservices, distributed architecture. Working at Mercado Libre means designing for billions of requests. Reliability is not optional.

AI Products

Agent workflows, applied LLMs, productized AI. The interesting problems aren't in demos — they're in making these systems reliable enough to deploy.

Product Engineering

From zero to shipped. Technical judgment and product taste are not separate skills. Building Khora taught me they're the same thing.

Technical Strategy

Architecture decisions, stack selection, technical tradeoffs for early-stage products. Boring technology for critical paths. Innovation where it actually matters.

Day job

Building
with Intent

Software is craft. I care about systems that work in the real world — not just in demos. Technical depth is leverage, not identity theater.

01. Ship, Learn, Iterate

Shipping beats planning theater. The fastest feedback loop wins. I prefer a live product with rough edges over a perfect spec with no users.

02. Ownership at Every Level

No silos. I want to understand the product vision and the technical constraints simultaneously. Engineers who only see code miss half the problem.

03. AI When It Moves from Novelty to Execution

I'm not interested in AI as a demo category. I'm interested in it when it connects to real workflows and changes how work actually gets done.

04. Product Taste Is an Engineering Skill

Choosing the right abstraction and choosing the right feature are the same skill. Code quality without product judgment is just expensive craft work.

Open to interesting conversations

Let's build
something real.

If you're building something ambitious in AI, backend infrastructure, or early-stage product — I'm always interested in a good conversation.
