About

I have a decade of experience building backend services in Python, Elixir, Rust, Go, and more recent experience in C# deployed to AWS Lambda and using DynamoDB.

Most of my off-hours programming is spent in Elixir and Rust, a potent combination of productivity and speed.

Interests

• Machine Learning and its applications, particularly in medicine, robotics, and automation.
• Robotics & UAVs
• Programming language theory and associated languages: Ocaml, Haskell, Rust, and Idris. I love exploring what other languages have to offer.
• [Future] Space industry: zero-gravity manufacturing, mining, satellites.

Currently working on

• Adding mutable data structures to the Erlang VM.
• Microservice control plane.

B.Sc. in Computer Science

Programming Languages

Daily Drivers

+	Rust	The first language I reach for outside web dev. Pairs well with Elixir.
+	Elixir	My preferred backend/frontend language. It's killer app would have to be Phoenix LiveView, which removes the need for a separate frontend framework and API between them.
+	Python	I have used it since ~ 2012.
+	Go	Great for prototyping and experimenting with concurrent program architecture.

Databases

• Rethinkdb - Effectively replaced by Phoenix Channels and PubSub.
• Firebase - Same as above.
