Capt. Dustin Blaine Salinas
A life you can explore.
People ask me to introduce myself, and I never know how to do that in a few clear sentences. Too much of it only makes sense once you can see how the pieces connect.
A normal resume, a normal LinkedIn page, works by listing what you've done and taking credit for it. That doesn't really work for me. Not because I haven't done the work, but because most of the time I don't take the credit. I don't accept the award, don't go to the ceremony, don't put my name on it. A lot of what I build gets white-labeled. I hand it to whoever it helps most and take my name off it, because keeping it on would only slow them down.
So this world is my answer to that question. Hop in and have a look around.
- 01
Follow the river
Meet the people who taught me, find your way through the fog, and see where a life on the river can take you.
- 02
Follow your curiosity
Look inside the projects, follow an idea into code, or try your hand at a puzzle. There's more here than first meets the eye.
- 03
Take a detour
Go for a lap. Knock down a few pins. See what happens when you wander a little farther.
