Francisco Zapata
@drfcozapata
Full-stack web & mobile developer integrating AI into production SDLC.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack web and mobile developer with 6+ years delivering production applications for clients across the US, Europe, and Latam. I bring an “above senioritylevel” approach to reliability, automation, and business-logic validation—end to end.
Former pediatrician and hospital director, I combine clinical system thinking with domain expertise to build healthcare-grade software. I’m especially effective at translating real operational constraints into robust workflows, models, and validation rules.
In my recent roles, I’ve integrated AI tooling into the SDLC: agentic workflows, automated test generation, structured refactoring, CI automation, and business logic validation. I lead cloud infrastructure and deployment practices (CI/CD, IaC) to keep delivery predictable in medium-scale production environments.
I also contribute to open-source (Spanish translation of the VueJS 3 docs) and have completed 14+ freelance major projects with 60%+ rehire and strong client satisfaction. I enjoy building modern web experiences with Vue/Nuxt/React/Next/Laravel/Node and mobile features with Flutter—always adapting the stack to the client’s timeline and constraints.
