Welcome Simon! Nice to have another Elixir user in Wales - think that’s 4 of us now 
Perhaps at some point we can have a forum get-together… and try and get everyone to come out here to Wales 
I was actually speaking to someone from the US today and literally half of the conversation was about Wales 
(luckily they were already interested, being fans of Gavin and Stacey no less!)

Hi I’m Christian from Colombia. Have some background in Ruby and have been working as a UI developer using Angular. Started learning Elixir a year ago. I’ve read a bunch of books on the subject and have been making pet projects to improve skills.

Hi I’m William from Kenya (working in Berlin). I have a background in Ruby as well and have mainly practiced as a full stack developer. My company switched from using Rails at the core of our projects to Phoenix about a year ago. I learned enough elixir to survive but I’m now super interested in learning the ecosystem in depth.

Hello, I’m Qiu from China. I’ve been in the web developing industry for a while. I build web applications with JavaScript, Ruby, and Elixir, and I love it!
I love to experience different ways of developing web applications and find the best practices.
Currently, my skill in Elixir is not as good as JavaScript or Ruby, but I’m working hard to improve. So you may find me active in threads of AOC 
I’m currently in the process of switching language, from JavaScript. Once when I am prepared, I would like to find a full-time job making more fun with Elixir and functional programming.

Hello, I’m Howard from Cranston Rhode Island and Pittsford New York. I decided it was time to learn a new programming language and am glad I chose Erlang and then stumbled into Elixir! I met with the Erlang crew a few decades ago at Bell Communications Research in Morristown, NJ (I wish I still had the business cards and knew who was there), but we were organizationally held in the thrall of C++ and so didn’t give Erlang the attention I wish I had.
