Hi, all. I’m Ryan from just outside of New Orleans, LA, in the USA. I’m a software engineer working remotely from home, which suits me well. I also teach some Computer Science courses at Loyola University New Orleans occasionally and mentor the local FIRST Robotics Competition team here, as well as volunteer for some civic tech and social justice causes.

I’ve been poking at Elixir and its ecosystem for a decade now in my free time (Exercism tells me Aug 2013), and have enjoyed every bit of it. I’ve also been reading this forum for quite some time, but somehow never joined before now. Someday, I’ll get to use Elixir for a production project at work, but so far not yet.

Hello all, Chris here from outside Toronto, Canada. I’ve been developing stuff for the web for 20+ years at this point. I am currently trying to make the leap from Ruby on Rails to Elixir and Phoenix and getting lost in LiveView.

Hey folks! I’ve been learning the Elixir ecosystem and have found myself on this forum quite a bit. I figured today is register.

A little about me, I grew up as a kind of mixed bag backend developer/data developer. I’ve settled into BI development at this stage of life, but mostly working in the Microsoft world have spent a lot of time honing my F# skills. I love F#, but as I’m trying to learn web development as a hobby, I wanted to get away from .NET. So here I am, a mediocre developer hoping to create my little dream project with Elixir and Phoenix apparently made specifically for it.

I hope to learn a lot here and contribute where I can.

It seems I forgot to introduce myself officially :smiley: , let me correct that.

My name is Daniel, I am from Moldova.

I have worked mainly in small companies, where I would start innovative projects from the ground, they used to call me “one man show” :joy: . I have tried and used a lot of languages during my university and career years, but elixir was the only one that I really fell in love with, even more so when I came to this forum and met all these great and open people.

My plan for the near future is to first of all find a decent elixir job, support open-source and elixir community, and hopefully introduce some innovation in this helpless world of development :joy: .

Helo world :globe_showing_americas: i am neva :woman:i am studying some ml stuff in a very unofficial capacity.

I m coming from the ml world and my pythons skills r very good. I played around with c c++ c# and java. And i love learning new programming languages.

I wanted to learn s functional language to round out my roster currently i have python for most things working on learning c/c++ for when i need performance so i thought elixir could be nice for when i need fault tolerant distributed stuff.

I m interested in distributed systems since most serious ml research these days is distributed (all be it GPU wise) and i think that the only way we can have user owned models (a topic i m very passionate about) is if they r trained distributed online.

I also need a way to make ai models more accessible and i think phinix is perfect for that since i honestly hate writing and reading python server code. I find async kinda disgusting and python is just not really a server language.

Hi y’all!
My name is Yeikoff, and I am from Spain. I’ve been hanging around the IRC channel and lurking the forum for a little bit. Forums intimidate me a little, given the permanent nature of the messages.

I’ve been a long time fan of lisps: I’ve done some Clojure and Fennel lately.
Seems like Elixir has a solid and straight forward web development ecosystem (not my bread and butter, so I can use some hand-holding), and a nascent data ecosystem (my bread and butter, so maybe I can do some actual holding).
Also, there is a local Elixir meet up scene, but not really a lisp one, which helps a lot.
Thus I am here giving Elixir a try.

Cheers.
