Hi there! I’m Franco Becvort (Pollito), Web Developer, Leader, Engineer, and Architect in Cloud Technologies.
My career has spanned various sectors, including government, healthcare, and banking. My current role as a security expert for Ecuador’s largest private bank highlights my proficiency in handling sensitive, large-scale projects.
My academic roots as a researcher at the Universidad Nacional de San Luis reflect my deep commitment to continuous learning and knowledge sharing. This passion for education also permeates my personal activities, particularly through this programming blog. Here, I delve into the intricacies of web development (mainly in Java Spring Boot).
Now living in Portugal, I bring a global perspective and a diverse skill set to my work, continually driving innovation and excellence in the ever-evolving world of web development.
