Di Giandomenico
Frontend Engineer
I build things for people who notice when something feels slightly off. Currently at Atlassian — six-plus years at Salesforce before that, a US patent somewhere along the way — I've learned that good software doesn't just work. It has to feel like something.
About me
Hi — I'm Francisco.
I'm a software engineer based in New York City, originally from Buenos Aires. I care about the intersection of engineering and human experience — specifically the part where a product stops feeling like a product and starts feeling like something someone made for you.
I'm currently at Atlassian, building frontend features across analytics and prospecting products. Before that, several years at Salesforce — developer tooling, platform infrastructure, and most recently AI-integrated experiences on Einstein Studio — shipping LLM integrations and performance improvements that moved real metrics. I also hold a US patent for a system I designed, which still catches me off-guard a little when I say it out loud.
Outside of work I'm an avid gamer — specifically the kind of games that have mood and character and make you feel like you're somewhere. I write when something is bothering me creatively. I make unnecessarily elaborate coffee. And I'm governed, at least partially, by two very opinionated cats. 🐈🐈

Side projects
Stuff I've built
giftpool
A platform for creating gifting groups and managing shared wishlists. Built to solve the “what do we all get them?” problem — because coordinating gifts over a group chat is a special kind of chaos.
splittr
A lightweight web app for itemizing invoices with proportional tax splitting. Because splitting the check shouldn't require a math degree or a spreadsheet at the table.
US Patent No. US10977011B2
Structuring web apps through
a specification file
Wrote, submitted, and received a US patent for a novel approach to structuring web applications declaratively through a specification file. Granted by the USPTO.

Get in touch
If you're building something you actually care about — not just something optimized — my inbox is open. I'm especially drawn to work at the intersection of frontend craft and AI product development.
Also: good taste matters to me more than I can rationally justify. Fair warning.
