I’m a senior Elixir engineer currently focused on writing web applications and APIs using Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, and Oban.
Elixir / Phoenix / LiveView
Elixir has been my language of choice since 2016 when I attended the ElixirConf.EU conference in Berlin, and I fell in love with the language and platform.
Since then, I’ve worked with companies like Steady, Stuart, and Hearts Radiant, building Elixir services and APIs that integrate with their platforms.
Rocket Validator
Elixir is also at the core of my project Rocket Validator - an automated web crawler that validates large sites, checking each web page for HTML and accessibility issues.
Rocket Validator is composed of a main Elixir / Phoenix app that uses Oban to handle the background queue and LiveView to provide real-time updates on the UI. It communicates with Node.JS services running on AWS Lambda and the W3C Validator running on Docker instances to coordinate the web page checks. A JSON API provides tools to integrate into custom client workflows.
Offered as a subscription-based SaaS, Rocket Validator is used by developers, companies, and organizations worldwide, including the Agência para a Modernização Administrativa in Portugal or the Australian Web Awards.
I enjoy participating in the healthy open-source communities that grow around Elixir, like Elixir School where I’ve written lessons and helped improve the site’s accessibility. Recently I’ve joined Exercism where I’m offering help as an Elixir mentor.
