Santiago Salas 👋 Frontend Developer · Product Engineering · Applied AI

I turn complex problems into digital products people use — and pay for.

React and TypeScript are my craft. I build products from scratch, modernize platforms that can't stop running, and bring AI into both the product and the way it gets built.

Own product

PASSTIX

I spotted a problem, validated a solution and turned it into a real product.

It started as a concrete need at real events, was validated with a minimal solution and evolved into a ticketing platform with users, transactions and live operation.

  • Problem & validation
  • MVP & launch
  • Users & transactions
