Hi, my name is Elias, some people on the internet may know me as Era.
Nice to meet you. I create stuff for a living. And well... I am a Software Engineer.
I really love working with Rust. My favourite domains are: Databases and Distributed Systems. I'm also a big fan of Platform Engineering and DX.
You can check some of the things I build on Github or follow me at Bsky.
If you have a Rust project and would like some help, you can email me at `me@${this_domain}`.
I was born in the Global South and I do believe technology must be owned by all the peoples of the world and not just the North (normally meaning the USA and Europe). I'm a strong defender of Chinese tech as a way to bring more people from different nations into computing.
