About
Francisco, a Front-End Engineer from Buenos Aires with 9.5 years of experience, specializes in building engaging user interfaces. At Demand.io, he recently led a significant migration from Vue 2 to Vue 3 with Vite, resulting in a 28% reduction in bundle size and bringing the first contentful paint to under 1.2 seconds. He regularly works with modern frameworks like Vue and Nuxt, optimizing performance with tools like Vite, TailwindCSS, and Storybook. Earlier in his career, he was a Senior Front-End Engineer at BitPatagonia, where he built a front-end team from a single developer to five. This team successfully delivered a multilingual logistics PWA that processed 1,000 daily shipments with over 99% uptime. While at Viafoura, he modularized legacy Backbone widgets into Vue components, reducing on-client size by 60% with a custom-built tool. He also championed design system adoption to ensure WCAG AA compliance and faster feature delivery. A graduate of Digital House’s Full-Stack Developer bootcamp, he enjoys making designs come to life and removing friction for users. He describes himself as a "tinkerer" who loves to find and test new things, often experimenting with new frameworks and technologies in his personal home lab.
