Senior Software Engineer · Pomona, California
I'm Alberto Francisco, a software engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, building and delivering software across enterprise applications, telecommunications and insurance technology.
Most of my work is software architecture, full-stack development, backend systems, API design and database engineering. I like hard problems, clear thinking, and turning a tangled business need into something practical that ships — and keeps working long after it ships.

Most business software is still people putting information into boxes and expecting it to be saved correctly. A server-rendered form with honest validation does that job with almost no moving parts.

Born in the Philippines, now based in Pomona. Outside of work I'm a nature and animal person — I'll stop mid-sentence if a dog walks past, and a fair number of my better engineering ideas have arrived on a walk rather than at a desk.
Simple life, complicated systems. That's roughly the balance I aim for.

Email is best. Trails and dogs are also acceptable topics.
