Key Strengths

Extensive personal project experience in Erlang, demonstrating deep expertise in functional programming and BEAM ecosystem.

Demonstrated ability to build complex systems from scratch, including compilers (MicroC) and web frameworks (nova).

Cultural & Operational Fit

Cultural Fit Analysis

The candidate's project history is heavily focused on Erlang, indicating a strong preference and deep specialization in this technology. While this demonstrates dedication, the lack of diversity in other backend technologies might limit adaptability in environments requiring a broader tech stack. The projects are all personal, which shows initiative but lacks insight into collaborative work within a team setting.
