Hi, I'm Santiago

I'm a software developer and AI enthusiast based in Utah's Silicon Slopes, helping businesses harness the power of AI through premium templates and consulting. Originally from Mexico, I bring a unique perspective shaped by diverse cultural experiences and a passion for making technology accessible to everyone.

What I Do

My Journey

My journey into tech wasn't traditional. After graduating from BYU-Idaho, I discovered my passion for programming while working on projects that combined creativity with problem-solving. My experience as a volunteer missionary in Guatemala taught me the value of clear communication and adapting to different perspectives – skills that prove invaluable when translating complex technical concepts for clients.

Working in the tech industry opened my eyes to the intersection of creativity and technology. I became fascinated with how AI could enhance workflows and business processes. After earning certifications in Python programming and diving deep into AI development, I realized many businesses were missing out on AI's potential simply because it seemed too complex or out of reach.

In 2025, I launched this independent venture as a side project, driven by a mission to bridge this gap. I focus on creating premium templates that developers love and helping businesses implement AI solutions that actually make sense for their needs, all while maintaining the highest professional standards.

My Approach

I believe in quality over quantity. I limit myself to 3-4 active clients at a time to ensure each project gets the attention it deserves. When you work with me, you're not dealing with account managers or junior developers – you get direct access to someone who's shipped code to production thousands of times.

My experience in incident management and site reliability has taught me that proactive solutions save time and money in the long run. That's why I focus on building robust, scalable solutions from the start. My pricing reflects this commitment to quality – I deliver solutions that stand the test of time.

I respond to all messages within 24 hours and provide weekly progress updates. Transparency isn't just a buzzword for me – it's how I've built lasting partnerships with clients who've been with me since day one.

Why Work With Me

• •Direct communication – no layers of management or miscommunication
• •Fast turnaround – I move quickly without sacrificing quality
• •Honest advice – I'll tell you what will work, not just what you want to hear
• •Real expertise – Certified Python programmer with hands-on AI experience
• •24-hour response time – I respect your time and urgency
• •Fixed project rates – no hourly billing surprises

Beyond the Code

When I'm not building digital solutions, you'll find me exploring Utah's incredible outdoors, discovering new coffee shops in Lehi, or diving into the latest AI research papers. I'm passionate about continuous learning – whether it's completing new certifications or experimenting with emerging technologies. The mountains here in Utah remind me that the best views come after the hardest climbs.

I believe the best ideas come from diverse experiences. Whether it's a conversation with a barista about workflow efficiency or a hiking trip that clears my mind for a breakthrough, I bring my whole self to every project.
