Hi, I'm Santino

My commitment is to build not just functional, but clean, scalable, and aesthetically pleasing software. Quality is in the architecture, the code, and the final user-facing pixel.

A founder's mindset in any role. I proactively identify needs—whether it's a new SaaS product or a team's developer tool—and take full ownership to drive it from concept to completion.

Believing that the best products are built by empowered teams, I focus on elevating the entire engineering ecosystem through powerful tools, clear documentation, and dedicated mentorship.

Technology is a tool to solve problems. I focus on delivering solutions where every feature shipped and every architectural decision made serves a measurable business or user goal.

A deep-seated drive to see projects through to completion. I thrive on the challenge of pushing through the final, hardest 10% to ship robust, functional products, as proven by my solo SaaS ventures.

Technology is always evolving, and so am I. I have a passion for mastering new paradigms, from front-end frameworks and backend languages to developer tooling and architectural patterns, ensuring my solutions are modern and effective.

My philosophy is to see the entire system, from user-facing pixels to the database schema, as one cohesive product. I take complete ownership to deliver robust solutions, whether as a founder or an enterprise technical lead.

I believe the best products are built by empowered teams. I architect and build foundational tools like Language Servers (LSP), VS Code extensions, and CLI tools to improve the developer experience, enforce standards, and accelerate an entire team's workflow.

I guide platforms through critical technology shifts, such as leading the migration of the legacy Fraxses LegoZ data platform from Angular to a modern React/Opus UI architecture, significantly enhancing performance, scalability, and maintainability.

Technology should serve people, not the other way around. Every interface I build is crafted with empathy, focusing on intuitive workflows and a flawless user experience to ensure the technology is not just powerful, but a pleasure to use.

Great software is built by empowered teams. I foster growth through active mentorship, drive quality via collaborative code reviews, and provide expert architectural guidance to both internal engineers and client technical teams (e.g., Deloitte).

I partner with major stakeholders to solve core business problems. I architect and deliver bespoke, mission-critical solutions—from custom component libraries to full applications—for clients like Deloitte that enable new services and drive tangible value.

I thrive on the challenge of turning an idea into a live product. This requires intense focus, resourcefulness, and the personal drive to conquer the '90% syndrome' and push through the final, hardest steps to ship.
