My name is Santiago (san-tee-AH-go). I’m 38 years old, an IT professional, and based in Mexico City.
I’ve spent the last 15 years in the technology industry, working across software development, solutions architecture, IT management, software sales, and enterprise consulting. Over time, my career has evolved from writing code to designing scalable architectures and leading technical pre-sales engagements.
I currently work at Mastercard/Dynamic Yield as a Manager, Solutions Engineer in Mexico City, where I operate at the intersection of technology, strategy, and business impact.
In 2017, I completed a Master’s degree in Information Technology — an intense and transformative experience (that’s me at Carnegie Mellon, back in 2015).
I still build. In my free time, I’m learning React, Node.js, and Python, and developing a small indie game using good old RPG Maker. Maybe I'll shift development to Godot, who knows. Curiosity is still very much part of the job description.
Technology is a big part of my life — but it doesn’t define me entirely. Good food and a proper glass of wine might come close.
I’m also an avid weightlifter (500 lbs deadlift) and the proud owner of a Siberian Husky.
That’s me — engineer, strategist, builder, lifter, dog person, wine and coffee enthusiast, and most importantly, a father.
