Luis Conejo

Founding Engineer, CarrotCake AI

Luis Conejo is a founding engineer at CarrotCake AI, based in Hillsboro, Oregon. He’s currently working on new ways to use the Python programming language to integrate third-party APIs and large language models (LLMs) to discover new and exciting applications. Previously with Intel Corporation, Conejo was an electronics engineer and software developer in the semiconductor industry for more than 20 years before moving into the startup world.

His first contact with programming languages came at the age of 10, when he was given a copy of Turbo Pascal and some sample code, which he modified and used as a template to create his first applications for MS-DOS. After he discovered Python in 2008, it became his language of choice for test-content development for semiconductor devices, and later, for API development. Conejo holds a master’s degree in industrial engineering from the Costa Rica Institute of Technology.
