Frontend Developer · React · Next.js
Hi, I'm Francisco Frias
I build fast, accessible interfaces with React and Next.js — with experience across APIs, Firebase, and cloud services to scale products from prototype to production.
About

I’m a frontend-focused developer specializing in React, Next.js, and Tailwind, with a passion for building performant, accessible products that deliver impact. My journey into web development started with a background in film and storytelling, which I merged with technology during the pandemic.
Since then, I’ve contributed to projects ranging from a mentorship platform at Velosaty to an AI-powered chatbot, sharpening my ability to ship clean, user-focused applications in fast-paced environments. Most recently, I completed the AWS Cloud Institute, expanding my skills into cloud-native, scalable solutions.
My career has been shaped by key milestones — each one reflecting growth in creativity, technical depth, and impact.
