Availability: immediate — open to contract or full-time
Senior Elixir engineer shipping solo and fast. Built BEAM-concurrency tooling for SOC analysts at a managed detection-and-response shop, and full PETAL-stack apps (Phoenix/LiveView, Figma-to-deploy) as sole developer across several contracts. Currently building production Next.js/TypeScript apps for agency clients.
Independent work: CAKE, an open-source (AGPL-3.0) RAG framework built on Elixir/OTP. CAKE is to RAG frameworks as a game engine is to games; demo'd for a water purification firm with go-ahead from their director of engineering. Also wrote Periscope, an open-source LiveView plugin. Comfortable across the full stack and into DevOps; AWS Cloud Practitioner certified.
Notice the push gates using Credo, the merge gate with dialyzer, the automatic checks, and how I structured the CLAUDE.md to prevent the agent from generating slop. Disciplined use of agentic coding is a legitimate accelerant.
Also contract work in Clojure and learning Rust. Used Clojure to create a bot for finding translation work for an independent Japanese translator, more than doubling their yearly income.
Looking for backend or full-stack Elixir work with real systems and concurrency problems. I like to use the BEAM for what the BEAM is actually good at, which is massive concurrency. You can use the PETAL stack for much more than just building the next webapp!
