About Me

Santiago Garza

As a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience, I excel in developing innovative solutions, managing complex projects, and leading engineering teams. My technical foundation and strategic mindset enable me to deliver agile responses to evolving project requirements and overcome development obstacles.

Recent Experience

Most recently, I served as a Senior Software Engineer at Napster Corp., where I drove technical decision-making and architectural planning for the infrastructure supporting their 3D immersive platform. I architected a comprehensive secrets management solution, developed AI-enhanced debugging tools, and served as a platform team liaison coordinating cross-functional initiatives.

As a cloud engineering consultant at ANewHealth, I optimized legacy database performance, migrated production configurations to Infrastructure as Code frameworks, and implemented automated CI/CD pipelines.

Career Highlights

At Shapeways, I worked with cross-functional teams to develop features for both customers and internal stakeholders. I optimized web applications achieving 40% reduction in page load times and 50-80% improvement in response times. I also built enterprise tools that generated over $3.1 million in sales through 850+ orders, mentored junior developers, and managed deployment pipelines.

At imFORZA, I led backend development, implemented UI/UX features, and automated pipelines for launching and maintaining over 200 client sites.

As a co-owner of Start At Root, I developed and sold STEAM educational kits custom tailored to meet our clients’ needs.

At FlipStamp, I conceived, pitched and procured seed funding, and collaborated with co-founders to architect and develop a social media app for student communications.
