Who's Rodgmont?

The beginning

There’s a question that followed me for years: why build if you don’t understand the problem?

I don’t start with theory. I start with a real, concrete problem—often personal—and then look for the right tool. Sometimes it’s code. Sometimes it’s a conversation. Sometimes it’s writing to organize ideas.

My name is Fran Rodgmont. I’m an engineer, a builder, and—according to the people who know me—someone who thinks out loud a bit too much.

What do I do?

I build software. But more than that, I build systems that solve things.

• Software engineering → architecture, backend, performance
• Product → why does this exist? who uses it?
• Open source → I believe in building in public
