Hi, I'm Santiago Rincón 👋

👋 About me

I'm a Backend & Platform Engineer with 6+ years of professional experience building Python services, APIs, internal SDKs, automation systems, developer platforms, and AI-powered tooling.

I've designed reusable software used by engineering teams across healthcare, creative production, and business operations, often leading initiatives from architecture through implementation.

My work focuses on turning recurring engineering problems into maintainable systems that improve:

developer experience
reliability and observability
software reuse
product delivery

I build the systems behind other systems.

⚙️ What I build

🔌 Backend Systems

Python services, APIs, integrations, asynchronous workflows, WebSockets, and data-driven applications.

🧰 Developer Platforms

Internal SDKs, shared libraries, CLIs, automation, observability, and tooling that helps engineering teams move faster.

🧠 AI Infrastructure

Agent runtimes, structured knowledge, tool integration, evaluation pipelines, and production-oriented AI systems.

🌌 Featured Work

Endr

An AI-native Minecraft platform used to explore knowledge systems, agent runtimes, developer tooling, and autonomous software.
