I am the founder of Paraxial.io, a cyber security company that specializes in Elixir. I am a leading expert in Elixir and Phoenix security, contributing software, talks, and articles to the field. You can hire me for penetration testing of your Elixir apps, training your Elixir developers in secure coding, and general security/compliance work (SOC2, HIPPA, ISO, etc).

Developer security training is often required for security compliance, yet these trainings are typically low quality slide decks, with generic examples. I created the open source Elixir application Potion Shop to help companies teach their developers real security through hands-on labs.

“We were looking for secure coding training for our Elixir developers, to build high quality and secure software, and to be PCI compliant. This was not easy, because the existing OWASP trainings do not cover Elixir. Our employees were completely satisfied. The team had the opportunity to contribute specific questions and topics, which is so much more valuable than a standard training.” Judith Kuhnt - CEO, starfish.team

“I never thought a pentest would be a pleasant experience, but Michael did it! Not only did he find what he needed to find, he was able to provide advice on remediation and prevention for the future, and he’s a great guy to work with. If you’re using Elixir, you need Paraxial in your contact list.” Jaap Haagmans - CTO, Equalture

“It was fantastic working with an Elixir security specialist for our SaaS products. Michael gave us deeper insights and found issues previous pen tests had not, which gave us much greater confidence about the security of our platform.” Josh Price - CTO, Class Solver
