Elixir enthusiast. Actual fan of JavaScript. Remote worker since before it was cool.

Started as a .NET developer in a typical, discovered the joys of JavaScript before SPA was a thing while working there, then discovered the joy of freelancing and learning new things soon after. Worked with Ember and Ruby+Rails for a while, but then found out about Elixir and never looked back.
