About Santiago Gallego

I’m a software engineer with a background in full-stack development, scalable backend systems, and frontend architecture. I earned my CS degree from Stanford and have worked at Coursera as well as my own bootstrapped startup, tackling everything from LLM-driven content generation to high-performance web applications. Whether it’s designing backend APIs, optimizing frontend performance, or leading feature development from concept to production, I enjoy solving complex technical problems that have real impact.Outside of work, I’m a die-hard basketball fan—especially when it comes to the Golden State Warriors. I watch all 82 games every season, no exceptions. I also enjoy gaming, particularly NBA 2K, Apex Legends, and story-driven action RPGs. Lately, I’ve been diving into networking and smart home automation, building a high-performance home setup just for the challenge.I thrive in environments where deep technical work intersects with meaningful problem-solving. I’m especially motivated by work that has a tangible, positive social impact—whether that’s improving access to education, building tools that empower people, or developing technology that makes a difference in everyday lives.
