Back to original languageAbout Francisco José
I’m a freelance software engineer registered in Spain since 2018. I design and develop digital solutions, specializing in software for libraries, publishers, and research institutions.
After collaborating on the implementation of Koha ILS at the University of Cadiz, I decided to start my own projects. Since then, I’ve developed and deployed solutions like Bibliomaps®, Bibliobooks®, and HCSDatos for institutions such as CSIC, University of Cadiz, and Ludo-Médiathèque Le Château (France).
In addition to custom development, I provide support and maintenance for open-source platforms such as CKAN, DSpace, and OJS. I’ve also created tailor-made full-stack projects like "CookAdHoc®: Cocina sin recetas", available for iOS, Android, and web.
I mainly work remotely and focus on delivering robust, scalable, and user-centered solutions.
