Systems Engineer · Full Stack · Colombia

Hi, I'm Duvan Vargas.

Systems Engineer with full-stack experience. I love learning new things, building products and running experiments: try an idea, ship it, see what happens. Today I'm co-founder and CTO of Blind Creator.

Company · Co-founder and CTO · Since 2022

Blind Creator

The Creator Marketing Operating System. Less operations, more results.

The platform that centralizes an agency's entire creator-marketing process, from discovering talent to analyzing results, in one place and with no spreadsheets. Eight modules that share data with each other: Discovery, Creator CRM, Campaign Management, Tasks, Automations, Artificial Intelligence, Reports & Analytics and Finance. I lead the architecture, the infrastructure and the technology team.

A Blind Creator service · High-volume businesses

Blind Agents

AI agents for your business.

An agent that looks after your business the way you would: it replies on WhatsApp, Instagram, calls, web and email, books appointments and collects payments, with your rules and your tone. Prepaid, no plans: you pay per reply and per voice minute. Born inside Blind Creator, where these agents already coordinate campaigns with creators.

  • Autonomous 24/7; hands off to your team with a summary when it matters
  • One inbox for every channel, with real-time voice
  • WhatsApp connected in 5 minutes; integrates Google Calendar, HubSpot, Shopify and more
Blind Agents chats: what needs a human, the rest handled by the agents

How I work

How I work

1

Ship fast, learn faster

An imperfect version in real people's hands beats a perfect one in a drawer. Ship, measure, ship again.

2

Talk to the people who use it

Data says what happens; people say why. The best ideas come from watching someone use the product.

3

Small teams with full context

A few people who own the problem move more than many with loose tasks. Decide fast, fix fast.

4

Focus on what moves the needle

Every week, whatever brings the goal closest; the rest can wait. Simple outside, robust inside.
