Summary
Emilio Santiago is a Full Stack Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building web and enterprise applications across Ruby, Java, PHP, Groovy, C# and modern JS frameworks. He has repeatedly improved development workflows—introducing CI/CD, static analysis, Bazel for Angular builds, and creating a Ruby gem and CLI to standardize code generation across projects. Comfortable in agile teams and Kanban environments, Emilio has delivered features for fintech, HR, government and SaaS products while owning integrations like Stripe and observability with DataDog and Rollbar. He balances backend microservice design (Rails, Trailblazer, Hanami, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch) with front-end and DevOps concerns, making him a pragmatic full-stack contributor. Based in Limerick, Ireland, he pairs a decade-plus of diverse platform experience with a habit of proposing process improvements that reduce duplication and speed delivery. Notably, he has driven internal tooling and open-source fixes that improved maintainability across multiple projects.
