Summary
Fran Ontanaya is a Technical Operations Manager with 11 years of hands-on experience building and automating media-focused workflows, primarily in PHP/JavaScript and LAMP/LEMP stacks. At Participatory Culture Foundation/Amara.org he combines product-spec writing, tooling for transcoding and subtitle QA, and incident diagnosis to deliver localization and subtitling for clients like Google, Netflix, TED and LinkedIn. He pairs deep practical knowledge of video/audio subtitling formats and standards with scripting, Nginx/Bash ops and sporadic Python/Django code reviews to bridge dev and operations gaps. Fluent in English and Spanish, he also brings a background in translation, editorial work and training, which informs a rare blend of technical precision and linguistics-aware quality control. Known internally as the “technical wizard,” he often builds bespoke pipelines and docs to meet client requirements beyond the core product.
