About

Hi! I'm Santiago, a software engineer and artist based in Jacksonville, Florida.

Since I was a kid I have been tinkering with computers, from almost bricking my Android phone with a custom ROM to installing Linux at a time when the year of the Linux desktop seemed like it was a thousand years away. We now live in a world where it seems like the sky is the limit with software, and all of our dreams for it can be made a reality with enough elbow grease and perseverance.

As an artist, I got my start admiring the work of Edvard Munch and Keith Haring. Haring taught me the value of spontaneity in art: by not planning everything, he was able to create work that was dynamic and vibrant. Munch taught me that art didn't have to represent reality as we see it in a photograph, but it could represent an inner reality that has as much complexity as the real world.

After starting my career in the corporate world with JPMorgan Chase, I'm now leaning toward a more independent direction. If you have or represent a company that needs strong, creative software solutions, whether it's a website or a complex automation, I would love to help.

P.S. Also happy to chat about art, development or any other interests we have in common!
