Agentic Engineer · Founder of Botsmith · Tech 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
I bring DEV Genius into development teams: from Discovery to a measurable pilot, running on the client's own infrastructure and credentials.
Technical leadership
Tech Lead with agile delivery and a focus on automating process work: teams, performance and architecture, with engineering discipline as the foundation for everything else.
DEV GENIUS · in production
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. In its first production rollout, two developers delivered twice the story points they had committed to in a sprint — and the gain was even across different seniority levels, because what improves isn't the individual, it's the process.
DEV Genius by the numbers
Two sprints in production, three developers.

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
