Hi. Francisco Aquino here, Full Stack Developer & Solutions Architect.

I partner with project teams to deliver complete, progressive Web solutions across the globe. I put focus on responsive design, performance and extensibility while always using the latest web technologies.

Are you looking for someone who will care about all aspects of the project from the initial estimation, design and user experience, to how clean, maintainable, future-proof the code is? You've found it.

Here you can see some of my work, and if you like it there's only one next step:

This online part catalog for 30,000+ vehicles lets users find products using a multi faceted search interface with a heavy mobile focus giving the app a native feel even in mid-range Smartphone browsers.

Thanks to the UX/Performance accomplished, the competitive edge against existing catalogs was immediately obvious among stakeholders, making the frontend architecture choices first class in the project's success.

The API was beautifuly built by the internal team at the client, interfacing a large Microsoft SQL database using Swagger for RESTful endpoints. A thin middleware was put in place to allow for Server Side Rendering, Server Side reCAPTCHA validation (to prevent stateless API scrapping), Caching and Data Transformations to keep the UI logic as simple as possile.

Platform SharePoint 2016 on premises Managed Metadata Search REST API

With 6,000+ publications and the recent move to adopt the SharePoint 2016 platform, the first test was to bring their most used app to life in its new home.

Using out of the box features for configuration, a custom frontend was built to give the application a look removed from the platform's traditional publishing pages.

The migration of the entire existing catalog was automated and the application allows fine grained download access based on different membership levels for its users

Platform SharePoint 2013 on premises Managed Metadata User Profiles

So many intranets in a box, but what happens when the client wants it all custom? With a pure client-side frontend solution, this project was able to keep their existing platform free from .NET customizations making their migration path in the future a breeze.

The goal was to discontinue use of Level CMS where several custom applications and integrations were running. By moving these integrations to different SharePoint features such as BCS, User Profiles and Service Jobs the amount of custom .NET code was reduced drastically.

Platform SharePoint 2013 online (Office 365) Managed Metadata User Profiles

The biggest in its market, this 2000 employee client wanted a fresh, modern and quick to go live intranet. After being stuck two years with a project that never went live.

The mood became even more reserved when I decided to do a full rewrite without reusing any of the existing solution, but quickly turned around when the biggest piece of the project was demoed on week 3 of the delivery phase. It was definetely not the easy path (full rewrite) but the most rewarding one.

The quick turnaround made most departments to call for a series of new features, which are still being added months after the original project was completed, from migrating old apps to the new platform to creating new solutions that helped their teams to work better together

After going about with a couple Intranets in a Box with not success, this client wanted to see the elusive intranet project go live in a short schedule, by presenting the first iteration with a fully funcional custom design, corporate communications portal and homepage.

Following a beta go live, a few more pieces of the SharePoint Platform were integrated via REST API to the solution, namely Delve for User Profiles and Office Video for its multimedia gallery.
