I’m Marcelo from [Fortaleza, Brazil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortaleza).

There go 24 years working as a developer, from good old Clipper days and then Delphi, PHP, Java, Python, and Ruby, finally I found the one to be called the best: Elixir. Not for the language only, but the community is also the most awesome I’ve got to participate.

I currently work as Technical Lead in a Java team as my day job. Using Elixir in a side project for consuming a famous betting site socket based public data streaming API.
