Francisco
Di Giandomenico
Senior Frontend Engineer
I build things for people who notice when something feels slightly off. Currently at Atlassian — six-plus years at Salesforce before that, a US patent somewhere along the way — I've learned that good software doesn't just work. It has to feel like something.
About me
Hi — I'm Francisco.
I'm a software engineer based in New York City, originally from Buenos Aires. I care about the intersection of engineering and human experience — specifically the part where a product stops feeling like a product and starts feeling like something someone made for you.
I'm currently at Atlassian, building frontend features across analytics and prospecting products. Before that, several years at Salesforce — developer tooling, platform infrastructure, and most recently AI-integrated experiences on Einstein Studio — shipping LLM integrations and performance improvements that moved real metrics. I also hold a US patent for a system I designed, which still catches me off-guard a little when I say it out loud.
Outside of work I'm an avid gamer — specifically the kind of games that have mood and character and make you feel like you're somewhere. I write when something is bothering me creatively. I make unnecessarily elaborate coffee. And I'm governed, at least partially, by two very opinionated cats. 🐈🐈

Career
Where I've worked
Software Engineer
Atlassian · Apr 2025 – Present
Leading frontend architecture across Sales360's analytics and prospecting products — from a lead prospecting hub to a GraphQL-backed personalization system.
- Leading the frontend for the Lead Prospecting Hub — scaffolded the route, typed view-model layer, and anti-corruption data layer, and drove the MVP to dogfooding in ~10 weeks with PM, UX, and backend
- Designed and shipped the Win/Loss Story Builder end-to-end as primary frontend owner — a multi-step tool for reps to document deal outcomes, integrated with Salesforce and Confluence with AI editor support
- Built the Recently Viewed / Recently Searched system as full-stack owner — DB schema, SQS write pipeline, REST API, GraphQL tier, and frontend; the foundation was later reused for the Starred feature
- Authored the Personalization RFC and built the centralized, GraphQL-backed preferences package now used as the standard pattern across the codebase
Software Engineer
Salesforce — Einstein Studio · Feb 2024 – Dec 2024
Built configuration and onboarding experiences for Einstein Studio, the AI model hub powering Salesforce's generative AI products.
- Built configuration and onboarding UI for Model Builder, letting customers bring their own external LLMs and predictive models into Salesforce products
- Standardized E2E testing across the team — built helper utilities and authored guidance docs that replaced ad-hoc string-based accessors and cut duplication
Senior Software Engineer
Capital One · Apr 2023 – Jan 2024
Worked on a backend modernization initiative migrating legacy services to serverless Spring Boot microservices on AWS.
- Migrated services from legacy Spring to Spring Boot microservices on AWS Lambda, part of a broader organizational shift to serverless
- Implemented backwards-compatible API features supporting data tokenization during a database migration, minimizing downtime for downstream consumers
Senior Software Engineer
MuleSoft (a Salesforce company) · Feb 2018 – Mar 2023
Owned MuleSoft's API Console — a Web Components-based shared dependency used by four product teams — over a five-year tenure, promoted from Junior to Senior. Relocated from Argentina to New York along the way.
- Took ownership of API Console after the original maintainer left, recovering it from significant tech debt to a stable, trusted component through bug remediation, regression infrastructure, and UX rework
- Designed a chunked-query architecture for 25–30 MB GraphQL models, reducing request latency by up to 90% on previously-unusable documentation pages
- Led API Console's migration from LitElement to Lightning Web Components, with a build pipeline producing both Salesforce-platform LWC and rollup-bundled OSS LWC from one codebase
- Built a Jenkins-dispatched test runner consolidating suites across 15+ component repositories, catching cross-repo regressions before release
Side projects
Stuff I've built
giftpool
A platform for creating gifting groups and managing shared wishlists. Built to solve the “what do we all get them?” problem — because coordinating gifts over a group chat is a special kind of chaos. Live in production with 60+ users.
splittr
A lightweight web app for itemizing invoices with proportional tax splitting. Because splitting the check shouldn't require a math degree or a spreadsheet at the table.
US Patent No. US10977011B2
Structured Development for Web
Application Frameworks
Wrote, submitted, and received a US patent for a novel approach to structuring web applications declaratively through a specification file. Granted by the USPTO.

Get in touch
If you're building something you actually care about — not just something optimized — my inbox is open. I'm especially drawn to work at the intersection of frontend craft and AI product development.
Also: good taste matters to me more than I can rationally justify. Fair warning.
