About Me

I’m a software developer and a partner at Reflective Software, a two-person software product and consulting company specializing in Elixir, Phoenix, and Rust. Read more about Reflective Software here, and please get in touch at contact@reflective.dev if you would like to talk about working together. My open source is at github.com/eahanson and github.com/synchronal.

I’m also a co-founder of the Golden Gate Elixir meetup, a relatively new co-organizer of the Erlang & Elixir SF meetup, and I’m on the program committee for Code BEAM America 2025 which will take place in San Francisco in early March 2025.

Events

Code BEAM America: March 6-7 in San Francisco. Tickets are now available.
