I have spent time in the trenches with a lot of different technologies, but I am not interested in more Ruby or Node gigs. I have retired from PHP and Python is painful for most projects. Elixir is my current focus, but I have a healthy curiosity of Rust. I like doing things the right way, and it's nice when a technology is well-suited to the problem and it can be solved in an elegant way. Make code beautiful!
