Hello there! My name is Alex: a BEAM engineer and Elixir alchemist.

I started my career with Erlang in 2012. Elixir has been my main language since 2015. Its tools and friendly community encouraged me for the first time to contribute to Open Source.

It's rewarding to be able to build tools others might find useful. And it's even better, when this same people help you build a better tool: bug reports, feature requests and more than welcome pull requests.

Projects I Actively Maintain

  • Planck: a coding harness with a focus on agent workflows.
  • AyeSQL: an Elixir library for using raw SQL.
  • Skogsrå: an Elixir library for handling application configuration with ease.
  • Yggdrasil: an agnostic Elixir pub-sub app with a simple API.
  • Elixir's ICON SDK: an Elixir SDK for the ICON blockchain.
  • Hab: a simple zsh plugin for handling environment variables.
