Santiago Lago is a Senior Backend Developer based in Pontevedra, Spain, with four years of hands-on experience building reliable web services, DevOps/SRE practices, and backend features for mission-driven teams. He began his career developing low-level 3D machine vision solutions in automotive R&D and evolved into integrating industry-leading vision systems before pivoting to full-stack SaaS and operations roles.
