Elixir in the wild

• Bram Verburg and Benjamin Cates

Bram is an architect and occasional developer with a background in telecoms. He started using Erlang after getting frustrated with Java and Ruby’s approaches to concurrency, and discovered Elixir in 2012. Since then he has made small contributions to the Elixir project and its ecosystem, and has spoken at ElixirConf.EU. He is known as @voltonez on Twitter, and ‘voltone’ in various other places where Elixir people hang out

Ben is a technology enthusiast who was bitten by the Elixir bug just over 10 months ago. Since then he has been working with Elixir as much as he can on both internal and external projects. He has founded two companies, both of which he describes as costly (but amazing) learning experiences. Currently, he works with his wife in their interaction design and development studio.

Target audience:

Rails developers, Erlang developers, Web, Realtime messaging, IoT and Distributed Systems developers.
