What Silo Repo is
Silo Repo is a social repository built specifically for engineers. Most portfolio builders assume software screenshots, which leaves out mechanical, electrical, and civil work, so this platform supports importing projects, CAD files, and technical documents next to code. Everything sits on a free hosted page, projects sync automatically as you update them, and domain specific templates let you present work in a way that makes sense for your field. Analytics give you a sense of how the portfolio is performing.
What you can do with it
- Host an engineering portfolio for free
- Sync your latest projects automatically
- Import CAD files and technical documents
- Present work interactively using domain templates
- Read portfolio analytics and insights
- Get in front of recruiters and peers through the social layer
- Keep several disciplines on one profile without forcing them into a software layout
Who it is for
- Engineers who want a public portfolio without building a website
- Job seekers who would rather show work than describe it
- Technical professionals sharing documents with a peer audience
- Engineers in hardware or civil fields who find software only tools limiting
What to watch out for
The focus is narrow, so the audience is smaller than on a general platform and discovery depends on recruiters actually using the site. The free tier could change as the product grows, and your public presence then depends on someone else's platform, which is a long term risk. Importing CAD and technical documents may expose confidential work, so check ownership and permissions before publishing anything from an employer. Keep the page updated, because a stale portfolio reads worse than none.
