Hi!

My name is Cristian and I am a programmer living in Asturias, Spain. I work at Bizneo HR.

I am mainly interested in backend development and SaaS applications. I’ve been working professionally with Elixir since 2017. Aside of Elixir I also love Ruby and PHP, which I’ve used professionally since 2014.

When I am not at the computer I love doing sports and, in particular, martial arts. I am a 3rd dan blak belt at Genseiryū Karate, which I’ve been training since I was four years old. I’ve been also training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where I currently have a blue belt.

You can check my GitHub and LinkedIn profiles. If you want to get in touch you can send me an email.

Open source contributions

Here are some of my open source projects:

• Elixir Error Tracker: An Elixir-based built-in error reporting and tracking solution. I wrote an article detailing why we built it here.
• Bun: mix tasks for installing and invoking bun.js. Drop in replacement for Esbuild that comes with a bundler, test runner and Node-js compatible package manager.
• Trans: embedded translations for Elixir. Allows you to manage and query translations embedded into schemas and removes the necessity of maintaining extra tables only for translation storage.
• Frankt: leverages Phoenix websocket capabilities to render components in the browser and interact with them in real time while controlling all the logic in the backend. Since May 2020 Frankt has been deprecated as the same capabilities (and more) are now offered by Phoenix LiveView, written and maintained by the Phoenix Core Team.

I’ve also contributed to some other Elixir projects such as Faker, Hex.pm, Phoenix HTML, Phoenix LiveView, Elixir LS, Waffle, Beam Telemetry, Ueberauth Microsoft, NextLS, Polymorphic Embed and Timex.

Aside from Elixir I’ve also contributed to projects written in different languages such as difftastic (Rust), Sermepa (PHP), NoCMS - Blocks (Ruby) and Import O Matic (Ruby).
