Francisco Vilches is a Principal Engineer and software architect based in Auckland with a decade of experience building cloud-native, microservice-driven systems and scalable data pipelines. Currently leading architecture and delivery at LawVu, he progressed internally from Senior Software and DevOps roles, reflecting strong full-lifecycle ownership across development, CI/CD and operational tooling. He has deep hands-on experience with Azure and AWS serverless platforms, infrastructure-as-code, and large-scale data migrations that move hundreds of thousands of records daily. Known for blending pragmatic engineering with thoughtful design, he pairs code-level craftsmanship with platform thinking to reduce operational friction. Outside of day-to-day work he continues to "enjoy the art of software," bringing curiosity and a self-taught full-stack foundation to solving complex integration challenges.
