Hello, I'm

Francesc
Sarrate.

Software Architect

Rubí, Barcelona ☉

I build serverless platforms on AWS — from architecture to developer experience. Two SaaS platforms shipped end-to-end. Currently shaping pharma manufacturing software at Aizon with TypeScript, Lambda, and a strong API-first mindset. Off-hours: cyberpunk novels, horror films, live music.

  • Set up architecture with OpenAPI, TypeScript, React, AWS Powertools, and JSON-schemas
  • Implemented API-first strategy, accelerating frontend development and decoupling teams
  • Designed scalable infrastructure: Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, SPA, PWA
  • Led architecture team focused on prototyping and evaluating emerging technologies
