Glad this introductory thread popped out again! 
Hello fellow elixirians, I’m Max, originally from Northern Italy but I’ve been living in Germany for almost half of my life already… Currently residing in Berlin.
I’ve been a software engineer for a long time now, and I’ve worked with lots of different languages: PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, Javascript… you name it.
I discovered Elixir in 2017 and it’s been a wonderful way not only to discover a great new language, ecosystem and community, but also to get my feet wet with functional programming, of which I’m an almost fanatical supporter now 
I’m lucky enough to be able to use Elixir in my current job.
When I write serious code I always try to do it using TDD.
Between work and family I don’t have a huge amount of free time, but I try to contribute to the community whenever I can.
Wishing you’ll a great end of 2021!
