Hey, I'm Fran 👋

Software Engineer · Backend & Cloud · TDD/DDD Practitioner · Musician
Here, I share my thoughts on software engineering, and occasionally, my musical adventures. Feel free to explore and connect!

• 👨‍💻 Software Engineer

  I work on backend systems and cloud platforms, mostly around Node.js and AWS. My focus is on helping teams build and evolve systems that remain understandable, testable, and adaptable as they grow.
  I’m especially interested in how architecture, processes, and people interact, and how small technical decisions compound over time—for better or worse.

• 🧪 TDD, DDD & Engineering Quality

  I come from a QA background, which shaped how I think about software. I naturally gravitate towards TDD as a way to clarify intent and reduce risk, and towards DDD as a tool for aligning technical solutions with real business problems.
  I’m less interested in “perfect architecture” and more in architectures that teams can actually live with—clear boundaries, explicit trade-offs, and room to evolve

• 🎨 Not a frontend developer

  Yeah, you probably guessed. This page is basically white HTML. I poke around modern web tech from time to time, but anything CSS-related is my personal hell.

• 🎸 Musician

  Outside of software, I’m a musician. Guitarist and bassist, sometimes keyboardist. I play lead guitar in a couple of bands. Self-taught in jazz theory, and lately exploring sampling on an old MPC.
  Music keeps me honest: progress takes time, practice matters.
