Recruiter screen → hiring-manager review → technical conversation around Blackbaud Philanthropy Platform Transformation, Prescription Management System, Pricing and Promotion Engine Replacement.
Francis's work in Backend/Full-Stack Engineer, Microservices Architect, Solutions Architect translates directly into adjacent domains with similar architecture, scale, and reliability needs.
- Primary production depth is the candidate's core stack. Other tooling framed as ramp/adjacent unless proven.
- Leadership framing is technical leadership (mentorship, code review, architectural direction). Formal people-management should be validated per role.
- Additional interests are personal/research at present, not production claim.
Proof is organized by system, not by claim.
The next pages convert the resume into a reusable proof index: production systems, platform architecture, org-wide pattern ownership, and technical leadership.
