Agentic Engineer · Founder of BotSmith SpA · Dev Lead at Recorrido.cl
Saúl Hernández
I build systems where AI writes the code and the pipeline guarantees the quality — from idea to merge.
What I do
Agentic Engineering
I design and operate AI agents that ship software to production: specs, tests, Pull Requests and QA, with human review at every step.
BotSmith SpA
I bring DEV Genius into development teams: from Discovery to a measurable pilot, running on the client's own infrastructure and credentials.
Technical leadership
Dev Lead and Scrum Master: teams, performance and architecture, with engineering discipline as the foundation for everything else.

My product in production
AI agents that take a task from idea to merge, with human review: they analyze the case, write the spec, code with tests, and deliver Pull Requests with a browsable QA environment.

How I work
Spec before code
No feature gets built without an approved proposal, design and plan. What's unclear gets asked first, not filled in with plausible code.
Human review, always
AI proposes, a human approves: every Pull Request goes through code review before reaching the main branch.
Discipline over speed
Tests first, and quality gates decide whether the change passes. Speed is a consequence of the process, not a shortcut.
Your keys, your data
Everything runs on the client's infrastructure and credentials, never the other way around. Nothing leaves to third parties beyond what's strictly needed.

Let's talk
If you want to add execution capacity with engineering discipline — or see DEV Genius running on your own workflow — book a call.
