hey, Francisco here!

I'm a Houston based full-stack software engineer with experience in React, PHP, Laravel. I've built web apps used by 150+ international clients, and I bring a unique edge with my oil & gas industry background. I focus on delivering clean UI, efficient systems, and scalable solutions.

About

A glimpse into me


I'm currently a Full Stack Software Engineer at Anoplex Software, where I've heped modernize legacy systems into scalable, cloud-based modules used by over 150+ international clients. My work spans both front-end and back-end development, with a strong focus on creating clean, intuitive interfaces and reliable, efficient systems.
Before transitioning into tech, I spent five years in the oil & gas industry as a pipe welder and boilermaker. That hands on experience taught me how critical good tools are for safety and efficiency, and it continues to shape the way I approach building software today. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new technologies, and continuously pushing myself to grow as both a developer and a person.

Here are some of the technologies I have been working with:

  • TypeScript
  • JavaScript ES6+
  • Laravel
  • PHP
  • React.js
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • C#
  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
