Who's this dude?

• My name is Francisco de Guzman, this website is my small corner of the internet.
• I’m also known as Cisco, Frisco, Frank, Frannie, Fran, Crisco, Goose, etc…  I’ve been flexible throughout the years.

• Professionally? I’ve done my fair share.  I’ve been a audio/visual technitian.
• I’ve been a video game tester, software tester, software security tester and QA manager.
• I’ve been a software automation engineer, performance test engineer, and software developer.

• Well, my interests vary.  However, if something’s broken, I try my best to repair it myself.  Most recently I’ve replaced the bluetooth unit in my car.
• As a homeowner, the story’s the same, I do everything, landscaping, fixing things.  I think my most difficult task is a tie between making custom wall shelves and replacing a waterheater myself.

• I read.  I take notes. I tinker.  3D printing, Raspberry Pi’s.  I like to try to try repurpose older technology, and try to get as much use out of them.
• I also occasionally play the piano, guitar, and there’s a dusty dusty violin that’s in my closet that’s never been played.
• And I wish I was a more avid reader, but I’ve finished my fair share of books.  Video games are also vying for my free time, it’s a good way to spend quality time with the people I love.

• Last book: The Time Collector
• Last movie: TENET
• Last song: Tiesto’s Adagio for Strings

• I wear a normal analog watch (two to be precise, one for day and one for night)
• I never lose pens, and have 3 pens that I have had for many years. (two are fountain pens)

This was a special weekend, staying at the Queen Mary.  It’s nice to dress up every once in a while, and a nice classic, art deco ship is definitely a worthy event.
