Senior🎓
Top SchoolPito Salas is a seasoned software engineer, entrepreneur and educator with over 15 years of experience building collaborative software, teaching software engineering and founding products and communities. He co-founded and served as CTO of eRoom Technology, led open-source projects like BlogBridge, and spent a decade shaping IT entrepreneurship and robotics curricula as Professor of the Practice at Brandeis University before moving to emeritus status. Now based in Arlington, MA, he combines venture-facing roles (Underscore VC) and hands-on robotics experimentation as founder of Boston Robot Hackers. Known for translating deep product and architecture knowledge into practical teaching and consultancy, he’s equally comfortable steering early-stage startups, running technical due diligence, or rolling up his sleeves on open-source engineering. An under-the-radar strength is his history of bridging academic rigor with real-world product delivery—turning classroom ideas into funded companies and usable software.
