Francisco Ceruti is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years building products and teams across startups and consultancy, currently leading TimeTask from Valparaíso, Chile. He blends hands-on engineering in Python, Elixir preference, Go and Ruby with operational experience—deploying multi-node farms with Ansible and designing resilient microservices for batch workloads and ETL pipelines. As a former CTO and serial co-founder, he pairs business-facing product instincts (market fit, customer support) with pragmatic engineering lessons learned from funded startups and government tenders. He champions functional programming and believes in rethinking concurrency and system design for future-scale IoT and distributed systems. Francisco’s practical style emphasizes shipping reliable, test-driven systems and clear client communication as part of the product. An unconventional detail: he once repurposed a VW Kombi into a public-facing business, reflecting his appetite for creative, hands-on problem solving.
