Brooklyn Elizabeth Zelenka
Hi, I'm Brooke (she/her) — known as @expede online. I'm the owner of this site. I live in Vancouver with my nesting partner Katie Wilde and our cat Smokey.
These days I'm a senior researcher at Ink & Switch where I work on securing and syncing CRDTs (e.g. Keyhive and Subduction). I previously ran several startups, most recently Fission Codes. I give a fair number of talks and keynotes.

Libraries
I'm probably bets known for Witchcraft, a suite of Elixir libraries that port some basic concepts from Haskell such as Monoids, Monads, and do-notation.
I'm also often annoyed with the base error handling in languages. While I certainly don't have a perfect solution, I've written a couple error handling libraries, including Exceptional and Rescue.

FAQ
Why hasn't Brooke responded to my message?
Like many of us, I have far too many communication channels. I can only keep up with so many of them. I will (probably) get back to you. If you need something sooner, DMing me on Discord is usually the fastest turn around time.
