Saúl Hernández

I build systems where AI writes the code and the pipeline guarantees the quality — from idea to merge.

What I do

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.

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.
