About Francisco

I am a Frontend Architect and Interim Engineering Lead with nearly a decade of experience building and scaling complex web platforms, leading engineering teams, and designing modern React/TypeScript architectures. I specialize in high-stakes situations: migrations, technical turnarounds, system modernization, and guiding teams through architectural and delivery alignment.

I have led multiple engineering squads in cross-functional environments, drove a major GenAI initiative, and delivered several large-scale transitions from AngularJS to React. My work blends hands-on engineering with leadership, mentorship, and long-term architectural thinking, enabling teams to deliver faster, cleaner, and with higher quality.

I typically support companies that need senior expertise on a part-time basis (10–20h/week), whether to accelerate frontend delivery, stabilize a codebase, or introduce architectural clarity. I am also available for deeper consulting engagements such as codebase audits, architecture assessments, or planning and executing frontend modernization efforts.

If your team needs an experienced engineering leader and architect who can deliver impact quickly, I’d be happy to support you.
