About Me

I'm Santiago Bothe, a full stack web developer based in the U.S., living life with my amazing wife and our dog. I've been building websites for almost two years now, and every day brings something new to explore. Whether it's implementing smooth user interactions or experimenting with immersive WebGL experiences.

I specialize in full stack development, enjoying the versatility that comes with working across different technologies and tech stacks. If it involves building something, I'm all in.

Outside of coding, you'll find me hiking, snowboarding, freediving (when possible), and enjoying survival games (like Valheim). My passion for immersive experiences extends beyond the web, and I aim to bring that sense of exploration into every project I work on.

Let's connect and build something awesome together—whether it's crafting a new website, adding features, or pushing the limits of what the web can do!
