Santiago Postorivo

I am a Lead Full-Stack Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and improving business-critical web applications, with strong focus on frontend architecture, SQL-intensive systems, internal platforms, and engineering leadership. I currently lead 2 development teams with a total of 6 contributors, including full-stack engineers and a senior SDET. My responsibilities include technical planning, architecture design, code reviews, 1:1s, grooming sessions, product readouts, and cross-functional coordination to turn business requirements into scalable solutions. In my current role, I work across multiple internal web platforms that support operational workflows, supplier-related processes, rule-based automation, access control, and reporting. My role combines hands-on development with technical leadership across frontend, backend, and database layers. A strong part of my profile is SQL and data-heavy system design. I have led initiatives that improved database efficiency from around 90% usage to below 50% through query optimization, table improvements, and better data-layer decisions. I have also contributed to automation initiatives that reduced manual operational work, increased throughput, lowered infrastructure costs, and reduced production issues significantly. Before that, I worked at Maximus Gaming Hardware, where I was responsible for the technology behind a gaming hardware ecommerce business. I built and maintained the website, database logic, PC builder tool, hosting, payment flows, admin tools, and supporting infrastructure. My main areas of expertise include: * Frontend architecture and implementation * SQL design, optimization, and data-heavy systems * Rules and schema design * Internal operational platforms * Technical leadership and delivery execution * CI/CD, deployment automation, and engineering workflow improvements I also have experience building AI-assisted solutions, including an OpenAI-powered chatbot designed to support users in configuring automation behavior tied to time-sensitive pricing logic.
