Juan started his web development journey as a Ruby on Rails more than 15 years ago when the web was much simpler.
In 2016 he founded Mimiquate and tried Elixir for the first time and transitioned to the Elixir & Phoenix stack, building and deploying apps to his customers.
He considers himself a true full-stack developer, working fluently on the backend and the frontend.
The talk covers the journey from inception to production of the Elixir Observer, a tool built to help newcomers to the ecosystem easily find and discover what the ecosystem has to offer.
Besides the technical challenges, Elixir Observer was built with a strong focus on its design, making it appealing to developers outside our community.
The presentation will also cover what’s in the roadmap for the tool’s future, and how can any member of our community can contribute to its development.
Key Takeaways:
The main takeaway of my presentation is encouraging other community members to contribute to any opportunity they see to help with Elixir’s adoption.
A secondary takeaway is for attendees to challenge the tools our community uses and think on how to improve them.
