// about

Hi, I'm Francisco Garzón

From 20 years of post-production and VFX for major brands, to building backend infrastructure with the same attention to detail.

I was born in Quito in 1981. Before writing my first line of backend code, I spent two decades building things with technical precision: I was a compositor and post-production supervisor for brands, TV channels, and even the Consulate General of Spain. Programming was always there in the background — I started in 2004 with Flash and ActionScript, and years later used Python to build my own 3D pipeline tools. Two years ago I came back to web development for real, and for the past year it's been my full-time focus: backend infrastructure, crypto payments, and automation — with the same attention to detail I learned delivering projects with zero room for error.

Tell me the technical problem, not the solution you think you need. I'll tell you if this is a fit.
