Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrancisco De Antón is a Senior Software Engineer based in Madrid with 13 years of experience building backend systems and package management tooling, currently focused on the Conan team at JFrog. He is a long-time contributor to the widely used Conan open-source C/C++ package manager and the conan-center-index, where he authors and refactors recipes, adds CI-friendly generators, and improves Windows and CLI support. His background spans cloud-native microservices in AWS, data-driven product engineering, and embedded/industrial automation, giving him a practical cross-domain perspective. Francisco pairs strong engineering discipline—unit testing, refactoring, and documentation—with hands-on DevOps skills (Docker, CI, AWS), and he frequently bridges developer experience gaps by improving both code and docs. Notably, he brings deep C/C++ packaging expertise that few backend engineers combine with production cloud anti-piracy and data analytics experience.
