Francisco started developing more than 20 years ago, working primarily as a full-stack developer. About five years back, he chose to focus on front-end development. He is a JavaScript evangelist comfortable with Node.js. Francisco shines in creating UX solutions and loves learning new technologies, expanding his capabilities, and sharing his knowledge and experience with colleagues.
Created a full working startup project with the team team of 4 developers, enhancing productivity by implementing modular workflows and a clear development strategy.
Tech stack added to the project:
Next.js (Vercel deployments) for scalable frontend solutions.
Firebase ecosystem, incorporating:
Firestore for a dynamic database with real-time subscriptions, enabling responsive chat features.
Cloud Functions with hooks to seamlessly update coach and program reviews.
Firebase Authentication with social login support for simplified user onboarding.
NX multi-repo for structured code modularity and improved library reuse.
React Query for efficient data fetching and state management.
Tailwind CSS for streamlined UI design.
Dyte for seamless online video meeting integration.
Stripe for payments
Established robust CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, incorporating Cypress integration tests executed during deployment on Vercel, ensuring reliability and minimizing regressions.
Spearheaded the development of three flagship applications critical to Hatchpath's success:
Marketplace: Empowered coaches to sell programs and workshops with integrated video calling capabilities.
Admin Panel: Provided the CEO and marketing team with tools to analyze data, curate content, and manage user interactions effectively.
Corporate Portal: Enabled NGOs and corporations to register employees and provide tailored programs to address individual needs.
Built the entire front-end architecture from scratch using Nx, resulting in a robust and scalable TypeScript/React application with multiple libraries.
Created extensive documentation for the working environment and development process, facilitating smooth onboarding and collaboration among team members.
Developed a 3D interactive jaw map using Three.js, allowing for the seamless rendering of 3D images and enhancing the user experience.
Built a Node.js microservice using Puppeteer for PDF rendering, ensuring seamless integration between the front-end and back-end systems.
Utilized "Mock Service Worker" to emulate the back end, enabling independent front-end development and smooth integration with the back end, effectively preventing bottlenecks in the development process.
Automated generation of types, fetchers, and example data using the OpenAPI definition from Django, safeguarding against compile-time type errors in the front end when back-end changes occur.
Shrank the JavaScript bundle from 10 MB to 5 MB using code-splitting, lazy loading, removing dead code, updating, and removing obsolete libraries.
Created integration tests from the ground (more than 15) using Mock Service Worker and Cypress. Included them in the CI using GitHub Actions.
Removed all the useless URL redirections and created descriptive and idempotent ones.
Eased multi-environment (Windows, Linux, and Mac) development for my workmates.
Implemented self-formatting Git hooks using Husky, Prettier, and ESLint. Also cleared 500 console errors/warnings in existing code, obfuscating the introduced errors.
Mentored back-end developers and junior coders to improve their skills in the front end in areas like modern JavaScript, Cypress test creations, and readable code.
Created a code style guide for the front-end development and the main documents in the repository to set up the environment, run all the scripts, and develop integration tests.
Led a team to turn a legacy windows app into a PWA (after studying other solutions, such as React Native for Windows). The main target was to share a "Mural" with a big screen device (as Surface Hub mainly) without introducing sign-in data.
Developed the back end in Express.js for the custom endpoint. Also achieved with proper Gherkin tests.
Refactored the front end with POC and removed legacy libraries such as React Router/Redux, helping Mural to deliver more with less effort.
Developed the front-end unit (Mocha, Sinon.JS, and React Testing Library) and integration tests (Mocha, Sinon.JS, and Gherkin).

Developed the documentation site using Next.js, with support for markdown with Mermaid code and OpenAPI documentation supported with ReDoc.
Built a completely static site using Next.js with a static sitemap generator and WebP images stored in Cloudflare via Wrangler.
Delivered these two sites within a three-month timespan as the team was learning Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and all the particular requirements from the company.

Created a few components using the best patterns in CSS with BEM.
Implemented a ducks module pattern for Redux, storing the reducer aside with the actions.
Properly used sagas for asynchronous actions and to avoid rerendering.
The Bait Bot is a tool developed for podcast creation, specifically, Asynchronous Debates. It records voice messages and automatically generates relevant information.
It offers features such as a duration script with a pie chart and participation data, member intervention scripts, and an SRT subtitle generator. The bot also allows message reordering and deletion.
A website was also created in React to download all media files as a single zip. No processing is required as it's client-generated. The bot is powered by Firebase functions, with an explanatory Medium article on its creation process.
BideoList is a sandbox project in multiple stages developed to test and master new libraries and allow video aggregation from multiple services.
The project has seen several versions, starting with jQuery and Laravel, and advancing through versions using Angular, React, Redux, and Sagas, finally to a version using vanilla JavaScript with Lit web components and PWA.
In the latest version, features such as custom pub/sub store, custom router, service workers, offline work capability through cache, local storage through IndexDB, serverless Firebase functions, and web components with LitElements are implemented.
