Mar del Plata ↔ Valencia · Open to new opportunities and projects
I build software for problems I know from the inside.
I'm Franco, a software technician. I write software and I help run a family restaurant. I like figuring out how a business works, spotting what could be better, and turning that into a tool someone actually uses.

Projects
Projects I'm working on
One started inside the restaurant and already runs as a pilot. The other is the next idea I want to turn into a product.
Main project
La Nueva Goleta Administración
I started it to keep the restaurant's invoices, prices, cash and expenses in one place. It runs in a pilot environment today and gets better with every round of testing.
- Problem
- A good part of the admin was done by hand and the information ended up scattered. That made it harder to keep track of prices, expenses and suppliers.
- Solution
- I built a system that brings those processes together, keeps a history, and lets you review every piece of data before approving it.
- Evidence
- 357 automated tests passing over extraction, matching and invoicing.
- Django
- Python
- OCR

How I can help
I'm open to freelance projects and collaborations. I can build a site from scratch, improve one you already have, or put together a simple tool to tidy up how a business runs.
Websites and landing pages
Modern, fast, mobile-ready sites for professionals, restaurants, projects and small businesses.
Improving a site you already have
Visual redesign, mobile layout, content structure, forms and general fixes.
Tools and digitalisation
Simple solutions that replace manual tasks, keep information in order and cut down on mistakes.
Got an idea, or a site you want to improve?
Method
How I approach a project
First I understand the problem. Then I decide what is worth building, I test it, and I improve it once people are using it.
- 1
Understand
I watch how the task is done today and where the time goes.
- 2
Sort it out
I turn the problem into a simple flow and decide what stays in and what stays out.
- 3
Build
I write the code and use AI as a support tool, without handing over the judgement.
- 4
Test and improve
I put it to use, listen, and fix what doesn't work.
Experience
Experience between hospitality and technology
Working in a restaurant taught me to solve problems with real people, real timing and real money.

About
This is me too
Basketball, the gym, the sea and having lived between Argentina and Spain are part of who I am as well.
I'm 24, I'm from Mar del Plata and I live in Cullera, Valencia. I like moving, training, travelling and getting into projects that force me to learn.
Eleven years of basketball
I trained for eleven years, did an intensive stint at EuroProBasket and now I'm getting back into it. I play shooting guard or small forward: I like attacking the rim, defending hard and running the floor.

The sea and the outdoors
Living in Cullera brought me even closer to the sea. I got my navigation licence, started with jet skis and paddleboarding, and I want to keep learning to surf and to sail.
Hospitality, technology and projects
I grew up inside a family hospitality business. That's where I learned about cash, suppliers, prices, teams and customers — and where I found the problem that turned into my first real piece of software.
I'm also into cocktails, fantasy, video games, artificial intelligence and business.
