FRANCISCO JIMENEZ LTD

What FRANCISCO JIMENEZ LTD does

Francisco Jimenez Ltd is an independent platform engineering consultancy founded in 2025 and operated by a single platform engineer, Francisco Jiménez, based in Belfast, United Kingdom. The firm provides professional services in data pipeline development, cloud infrastructure design, platform engineering, and geospatial tooling, serving organizations that need to build reliable, scalable geospatial data infrastructure. Its core service offering spans ETL pipeline design, cloud-native deployment across GCP, AWS, and Azure, and the development of internal developer tooling and automation.

The company's technology stack is oriented around open-source geospatial and data engineering ecosystems, including DuckDB, Rust, Go, Python, PostGIS, Docker, Kubernetes, Airflow, Spark, and OpenStreetMap-related tools such as OpenMapTiles, Martin, Mapnik, and TileMaker. It maintains original open-source projects, notably osm-waters (a Rust CLI for extracting OSM water bodies intersecting user-defined geometries, published on crates.io) and ori3.coffee (a discovery platform for coffee producers and roasters). The firm is publicly engaged with the Overture Maps Foundation on its geospatial data platform.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional-services consulting engagements procured via direct outreach (email and the firm's services page); pricing is not publicly disclosed and the go-to-market is sales-led by the founder. Marketing is content-driven, centered on a personal technical blog that publishes benchmarking studies, tool comparisons, and guides to position the founder as a domain expert in open geospatial data infrastructure. The consultancy has no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional ownership and operates as a founder-owned single-shareholder limited company.
