01 — Galicia, Spain · Building for the web since 2006

Fran Dieguez

Web Tech Lead · open sourcerer · full stack developer

I'm a full stack developer and Web Tech Lead at Situm Technologies, where we do indoor positioning for people and robots. I build the visual layer — map viewers, 3D layers, the code that turns complex spatial data into something fast enough to think with.

Open to collaborating on things that are genuinely interesting.
