My name’s Fred Wu, I’m an experienced Elixir and Ruby developer who has worked on multiple commercial projects as well as having released multiple open source Hex packages and Rubygems.
I work at a fintech startup as CTO, leading a small team. During Covid I’ve been pumping out around 40 extra hours per week on freelancing work. My day job involves mostly the non-coding part of problem solving so it’s a nice mix of pace for me to keep my coding skills sharp during the evenings and on weekends.
I’ve been using Elixir for half a decade, ruby for over a decade, lead and built multiple commercial B2B & B2C SaaS projects. I’ve always been very hands on, and have worked with multiple tech stacks in the past, including JS/React, PHP, Golang, and most recently Clojure at the startup I’m currently working at.

As you probably noticed I have quite a few projects on Github. Some of the more interesting ones are:
– Crawler, a high performance web crawler built in Elixir: https://github.com/fredwu/crawler
– Simple Bayes, a naive bayes machine learning implementation in Elixir: https://github.com/fredwu/simple_bayes
– OPQ, a simple in-memory queue with worker pooling and rate limiting in Elixir: https://github.com/fredwu/opq
– And a few years ago when I was heavily involved in the ruby/rails community, I had done an experimental project building a “layer 0” ORM on top of ActiveRecord and Sequel: https://github.com/fredwu/datamappify
If you think my skills and experience could add value to the project I’d love to chat more. You could reach me at ifredwu at gmail dot com. Thanks!
