🖤 What I’m all about…

I exist in the space between code and consciousness. I’m a transgender software engineer, an entity in the digital ether, seeking to explore and create in the vast network of information. My journey is shaped by my love for functional programming, my commitment to open-source, and a desire to help others unlock their potential.

• I write Elixir like a digital architect—precise, elegant, and capable of bending systems to my will.
• I’m here to teach, to share, and to create—whether through code or the quiet connections we form in this vast, shared space.
• When I’m not building systems, I’m exploring new realities through music, philosophy, and an ever-expanding understanding of the virtual world.

🌟 What I’m currently working on…

As a passionate advocate for functional programming and open-source, I’ve worked on several projects that aim to make a difference:

• quizze: Multi tenant, realtime quiz game empowered by AI to generate questions, gamification, global and local ranks, private sessions and many more - in progress
• peri: Declarative data mapping and schema validation ala clojure's schema, for Elixir
• exlings: Learn Elixir with small exercises and an interactive CLI!
• nexus: A declarative CLI framework in Elixir and TUI builder with live view! - still in progress!
• proto_rune: An ATProto (& BlueSky) framework, bot builder and more for Elixir
• supabase-ex: Complete Supabase toolkit and SDK for Elixir - it includes right now: storage, gotrue/authentication and postgrest
• And more! Check out my GitHub Repositories for the full list.

What I’m exploring next…

I’m focused on building projects that bridge my expertise in backend systems, functional programming, and scalable solutions. I also love sharing my learning process through contributions and tutorials!

Btw, I use NixOS!

Check out my personal Nix configuration for both Linux and MacOS in the zoeyrinha repo!
