( o.o ) hi, i'm nessa jane (or nj)!
> ^ <
I'm a Software Engineering Manager at Etsy, coach for lead engineers & people leaders, and an open-source enthusiast. I've been a software engineer for about 15 years, with experience across Ruby, Python, Node, Elixir, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell, Elm, and more.
I'm especially passionate about functional programming and Linux. I've been a Linux nerd since age 12, back when ISOs came in magazines.
I got hooked on Linux at that age while starting a home recording studio and Googling "free recording software" because I didn't have money of my own yet. This meant compiling audio drivers and acting as my own sysadmin just to get a microphone working. I even got my first job through a contact I met at a Linux User Group with no idea you could get a job that way at the time.

I was the original author of elixir_style_guide (now maintained by @christopheradams). I've contributed to various open-source projects and was a technical reviewer for "Clojure Web Development Essentials" from Packt Publishing.
Fun fact: A goofy contribution I made was jokingly adding HTTP status 418, "I'm a Teapot", to the Phoenix web framework.
