My name is Francisco Javier Ponce Cruz. I am a software engineer currently working for Skytouch Technologies. I have 6+ years of experience working as a backend developer and leading small development teams.

What I value in my career

• Mentorship. I learn from mentors, and I can contribute mentoring to influence others too.
• Feedback. Don’t Be Nice; Be Helpful 😄

How I like to work

• I am a visual person, I sometimes need to write what I learn, or draw diagrams.
• I always search for a solution myself at first, ask for guidance or doubts if I need it, but try to always depend on others the least. I am inclined to be proactive when it comes to solve problems.
• I think that if something is important to spend time on, then I should learn everything from the best sources about it, do it in a disciplined way, and maximize the impact. If I find a project, technology or concept interesting, I search for pappers, articles and books that I can read and understand the fundamentals of the matter.
• I am always learning, I try stick to the smart people in any meeting or conversation, because I know I can hear something that I don´t know.

• 📚 I like cooking and reading.
