Summary
Emanuel Sartor is a Head of Engineering based in Santiago with 17 years of professional experience and a software development background dating to 2004. He has grown through hands-on roles—from founder/CTO of two startups and teaching assistant work in algorithms—to senior and leadership positions at Principal Financial Group where he now directs engineering. Emanuel blends full-stack fluency (Python, Django, React, mobile frameworks) with product-minded UX work and operational experience building APIs, native apps and distributed web services. He has founded and scaled technical teams, implemented agile processes, and shipped both client projects and commercial apps, demonstrating comfort from low-level algorithms to customer-facing interfaces. Less obvious: his career shows a pattern of switching between deep technical owner roles and people-focused leadership, suggesting he excels at translating complex technical trade-offs into clear business outcomes. Fluent in integrating legacy stacks and modern front-end architectures, he thrives on turning ambiguous requirements into reliable, testable software.
