Santiago Restrepo — Full-stack Developer & AI Engineer
I design and build systems people use every day.
I lead technology at the Bernalo business group. I build products end to end: I learn the operation, design the interface, develop the system and automate it with AI.
About me
From design to code, without letting go of either.
I trained in design and multimedia at SENA, and worked in video editing, multimedia production and as a Product Owner before moving fully into development.
That mix is how I work: I care as much about how a system looks and feels as I do about it working in real operations. Today I lead technology at Bernalo Group from Medellín, and I keep learning with every project.

Projects
Production systems and products of my own. Each one has a case study with the problem, the decisions and the outcome.
How I work
01
Design
I start from the real operation: who uses the system, when, and how rushed they are. The interface comes from that, not from a template.
- Mapping the real workflow
- Clear interfaces for daily use
- Screens designed for mobile too
02
Engineering
I build the system end to end and choose the technology based on what each project needs. Row-level security, role-based permissions and deploys nobody is afraid of.
- Business rules in the database
- APIs and integrations between systems
- Automated tests for what matters most
03
AI & automation
WhatsApp agents, n8n workflows and models where they actually save work. If a simple rule does the job, I use the rule.
- Assistants connected to real data
- Automation of repetitive tasks
- AI cost weighed against what it saves
Got a system to build?
I'm open to remote roles, freelance projects and conversations about product and AI.
