Bring me the problem.I'll ship the product.

I'm Franco Viola, an independent software engineer. I turn ideas, designs and real business problems into web products that work — and I stay on after launch.

Beyond websites

I also build the parts nobody sees.

Today I work on a digital-signature SaaS: embeddable SDKs, identity, certificates and signed documents. Software where mistakes aren't an option.

  1. Embed

    A customer's product embeds signing through a web SDK. The two apps talk across domains.

    • iframe
    • postMessage
    • cross-domain

  2. Authenticate

    The signer proves who they are. Sessions, tokens and one-time codes tie every step to a real identity.

    • OAuth / OIDC
    • JWT
    • OTP

  3. Sign

    The document is signed to the PAdES standard, so the signature stays verifiable over time.

    • PAdES
    • REST APIs

  4. Reach the key

    Keys can live in the cloud, in an HSM or on a physical token. An Electron component bridges the browser and the device.

    • HSM
    • token
    • Electron

  5. Return

    The signed PDF flows back into the customer's product. The user never had to leave it.

    • signed PDF

Simplified, generic architecture of this kind of platform. No proprietary details.

Services

Problems I solve

Which one sounds familiar?

  • “I have an idea or a design, and I need it to actually work.”

    Web products & applications

    Dashboards, SaaS products and internal tools, designed around real workflows.

    • React, Next.js, TypeScript
    • Auth, roles and data
    • Design to production

  • “My website doesn't live up to my business.”

    Custom websites & platforms

    Complex websites, editorial platforms and e-commerce — fast and easy to maintain.

    • Next.js or custom WordPress
    • Content you can edit
    • E-commerce & payments
    WordPress, done properly

  • “My tools don't talk to each other, and everything is done by hand.”

    APIs, integrations & automation

    I connect the systems you already use and remove the manual work between them.

    • Custom & third-party APIs
    • Embeddable SDKs & widgets
    • Automated workflows

  • “I already have a product, and nobody is looking after it.”

    Ongoing development

    A reliable developer for what you already have: improvements, fixes and upkeep.

    • New features
    • Bugs & performance
    • Updates & security

Process

One person, the whole cycle.

Not a ticket-taker: I stay with the project from the first question to the hundredth improvement.

  1. Understand

    Goals, users and constraints. I ask the uncomfortable questions early.

  2. Plan

    Architecture, scope and a written proposal with phases and a fixed price.

  3. Build

    Short cycles, working previews and written progress updates.

  4. Ship

    Launch, QA and a clean handover of code and access.

  5. Improve

    Measure, fix, extend. The product keeps getting better.

…and back to understanding

After launch

Launch is where most of the work begins.

New features, integrations and problems show up after launch. I stay on to handle them, so you don't have to find someone new.

About

Hi, I'm Franco.

I'm a software engineer based in Córdoba, Argentina, with more than 4 years building web products for real companies and institutions.

I spent three years at a digital agency, and today I work as a contractor on a digital-signature SaaS. I do my best work when I own the problem, not just the ticket.

  • I own itThe outcome, not just the tasks.
  • I keep it clearWritten updates, honest estimates, no surprises.
  • Senior judgment, modern toolingI use AI in my workflow: you get it as shorter timelines, never as shortcuts.

Questions

Questions, answered

How much does a project cost?

It depends on each project: the scope, the timeline and what you need to solve. After a first call I send a clear written proposal with a fixed price — no surprises. I work on everything from focused improvements to complete products.

How long does it take?

It depends on what needs to be built. The proposal includes a phased timeline, and you'll see working previews along the way.

Do you use AI?

Yes, as a tool. It makes me faster, and that shows up as shorter timelines. Architecture, decisions and quality stay with me.

Do you work with clients abroad?

Yes. I'm in Córdoba, Argentina (GMT-3): a full working-day overlap with the Americas and morning overlap with Europe. I work in English and Spanish.

Who owns the code?

You do. Code, accounts and credentials are yours, and I'm happy to sign an NDA before getting into details.
