Santiago R is a software engineer specializing in visionOS at Apple with nine years of hands-on experience building high-performance C++ and Python systems for research and cloud platforms. He brings a researcher's rigor to production engineering—having optimized HPC data paths, implemented low-level x86-64 assembly benchmarks at Intel, and delivered a 40% HDF5 storage speedup and 75% string lookup improvement in prior roles. Comfortable across the stack, he has led CI/CD, containerization, and team-wide shifts to test-driven development while mentoring students and researchers. Based in the Bay Area, he blends systems-level performance tuning with pragmatic tooling for reproducible research, and often surfaces nonobvious wins by applying profiling-driven optimizations to real-world bottlenecks.
