Read moreAbout me
I am Camilo Salinas, a Systems and Computing Engineer who graduated from Universidad de los Andes in February 2024. As a Senior Front-End Engineer at Blankfactor, I build scalable cloud-based solutions for public safety services like 911 emergency systems. I’ve worked in Fintech and Proptech startups, leading engineering teams and building products from the ground up. My entrepreneurial experience includes co-founding Eskombros, a sustainable waste management solution for construction SMEs that integrated AI-driven logistics and optimization systems, processing over 1,600 cubic meters of waste. I also won Colombia's first Generative AI Hackathon in 2023 with a developer testing automation plugin. With expertise in React, Node.js, TypeScript, and leadership, I bring a mix of technical excellence and business-driven problem-solving to every challenge.
I am the kind of engineer you can rely on to GET SHIT DONE. I combine a deep technical background with an entrepreneurial mindset—focusing on business outcomes, understanding underlying problems, and delivering excellent results without getting stuck in perfectionism. I take ownership, prioritize impact, and make things happen.

Residia Startup
Residential complexes are an uninformed and disjoint environment which creates arguments between community members, this gets aggrieved by the fact that processes are done in an unorganized way.
- Arguments between community members (administrators, neighbors, janitors, security guards, etc).
- Obsolete, neglected and uncommunicative billboards.
- Inopportune delivery of payment receipts.
- There is no simple, comfortable and formal way to reserve shared spaces or common areas.
- Lack of an organized communication method between the community. Insecurity in cases of theft or others.
