I’m Santiago Quintana, a 23-year-old Computer Science student at Tecnológico de Monterrey, building things that merge engineering, creativity, algorithms, and real-world tech.
My current fascinations include:
✈️ Avionics & Flight Systems – Airbus fly-by-wire architecture, PRIM/SEC logic, safety-critical development- 🤖 Robotics (FTC & FRC) – command-based architecture, mentoring team Overture 23619 and 7421.
- ⚙️ Embedded Systems – ESP32-C6, custom PCBs, multiplexer sensors, motor control
- 📱 Android / Java Library Engineering – modern FTC libraries used by regional teams
- 🧪 MAS & Optimization Algorithms – multi-agent simulations, graph theory, heuristics
- 🌐 Backend & Cloud Engineering – Spring Boot microservices, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OKE, Autonomous DB), Node/Express TSX, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare, Railway
- ✍️ Narrative Engineering – through my Lumenforge creative imprint
I aim for code that is clean, documented, modular, and meaningful.
Skills include:
- Spring Boot microservices, JPA, Flyway migrations
- Oracle Autonomous DB (mTLS wallet management, ADB lifecycle)
- OKE blue-green deployments, OCI DevOps pipelines
- OAuth2/PKCE with OCI IAM, cert-manager/Let's Encrypt HTTPS
- Static analysis (Qodana), security testing (OWASP ZAP, Sn1per)
Skills include:
- Router & switch configuration
- DHCP, VLANs, OSPF, routing tables
- Subnetting, addressing, ACL fundamentals
- Multi-router topologies (Packet Tracer, plus a physical Catalyst 1300 lab)
- Robotics (FTC, ESP32)
- Avionics software fundamentals
- Embedded systems & control
- Backend & cloud engineering (Oracle, Kubernetes)
- Algorithms, MAS, optimization
- Network engineering basics
A Spring Boot + Telegram task-management platform built for an Oracle dev team as part of Atherion Systems, my Software Engineering course's student org. Served as Product Owner and CTO on a six-person team, taking the project from architecture to final delivery.
- Spring Boot microservices, Oracle Autonomous DB, Flyway, JPA, React/TypeScript frontend, Telegram Bot, Groq/Gemini RAG layer
- Personally built the OKE infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline, HTTPS via cert-manager/Let's Encrypt, OAuth2/PKCE with OCI IAM, RBAC, blue-green deployment manifests, and Qodana static analysis integration
- Full documentation set: PGCS/IEEE 828, SRS, DIYAS architecture, risk matrix, quality and test plans
- Security hardening: OWASP ZAP and Sn1per scans with formal reports, DB privilege minimization, network security lists
- Delivered mid-June 2026; the team's final presentation ranked best in the cohort
