RAMSES SALINAS
I've shipped dozens of products from concept to launch for clients across LATAM and the United States. Today I lead Primal as CTO, build Coing (finance with gamification), and train STEM divulgators at Fisión.
About me
I'm Ramses Salinas Rodríguez, a tech founder based between Mexico City and Ciudad Juárez. For more than a decade I've built web, mobile and AI platforms for clients across Mexico and the United States.
As CTO at Primal I lead the development of technology products and services. As founder of Coing I'm building a platform that empowers young people to learn and take control of their personal finances through gamification.
I also mentor at Talent Land, Tec de Monterrey and other initiatives, and I produce technology content for Spanish-speaking audiences.
