I've started playing around with Elixir around 5 years ago, after I saw a presentation from José Valim at Ruby Conf Brasil 2013. However, I just played around with it a little bit and then, about a year after, I started using it in some hackathons and personal projects. In the past 2 years I've been using it in a daily basis on my job and managed to build, refactor, scale and distribute a financial service built with it.

I've worked in three startups in the last 6 years with their application written in Rails. I've created and maintained an application for thousands of students in my last full time job. Apart from that I've built more than 20 rails applications for many clients as a freelancer and some other sinatra apps for myself.

The first time I used Javascript was also my first experience with programming, more than 10 years ago. However I do not count that as a complete experience since I had no idea what I was doing. I first started learning Javascript for real when I was 15, 9 years ago. Since them most of the applications that I've built have Javascript and some of them having a huge ammount of it and some built entirely in it. Recently, I had experiences with React, Riot.js, AngularJS a little of Ember and played a little less with a lot of other frameworks.

My first touch with HTML was a long time ago, back in 2004. I've started to build website for my parent's friends and started buying HTML magazines to learn something. Those were not the time where we could find anything easily on the internet, especially for a not english speaker. I was 12 at the time and was not fluent in reading in english. Of course, being the lingua-franca of the internet, I used it at all my jobs.
