I’m Samuel, a Chilean software engineer based in Santiago. I like building web products and, lately, getting into agentic AI. I’m also a Bitcoin enthusiast.
I studied Computer Science at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and have built software across fintech, foodtech and now micromobility. Today I work remotely from Chile with Forest’s operations team in London.
I like studying how things work and keeping up with the latest, from reading programming blogs to following trends in architecture, PWAs, Domain Driven Design and monorepos. I also really enjoy the Vercel ecosystem and have experience building on it. Most of all, I’m interested in bringing AI into how teams work, and I like contributing so that everyone, even non-devs, can make the most of it.
