Hi, I'm Elliot 👋

I’m a software engineer with over a decade of experience designing and scaling production systems across both startups and regulated, high-stakes domains. I’ve delivered everything from rapid MVPs to applications serving millions of users, and from distributed clusters to real-time, in-memory services. I thrive in fast-paced, technically demanding environments where reliability and performance are non-negotiable.

My background spans fintech, education, developer tooling and product-focused native applications, giving me the ability to drive both architectural strategy and end-user impact. As a dedicated open-source contributor with a passion for Elixir and high-performance systems, I’m motivated by building elegant, resilient solutions that solve meaningful problems and empower the teams around me.

Some things I’ve done in recent years:

Built banking APIs where safety and reliability are paramount
Scaled Elixir systems from single-node services to multi-node clusters
Built a Layer 2 matching engine and real-time trading APIs in Elixir and Rust
Worked on multiple AI projects across sentiment analysis, automation and dev tooling
Created and maintained a portfolio of 25+ open-source libraries for search, metrics, ingestion, and more
Published 70+ pieces of technical writing
