Hi! My name is Fran Guijarro (a.k.a franleplant), I have a degree in Systems Engineering, I have been programming for the last decade a wide variety of solutions with different technologies such as Javascript, Typescript, Python, Rust et. al. I work professionally as a Senior Software developer and a Tech Lead and I am an aspiring Software Architect focused on Javascript applications, both in the Front End with React and in the backend with Node.js. I am an amateur wood worker.

I define myself as a respectful contrarian, a tinkerer, a craftsman and as a healthy obsessed with figuring the world out.

I have a passion for learning, figure stuff (like life) out and for the past couple of years I have developed a passion for teaching and helping others grow professionally in this weird environment that is Software Development.

I talk about Software Development, tech culture and random stuff, join me in this amazing journey that is life.
