Nice to e-meet you, I'm Elliot Shimba 👋🏻

I'm a Berlin-based frontend engineer,
an advocate for diversity in the tech community,
and an avid sourdough baker.

I enjoy working with web applications using the latest tech stack in a remote and cohesive team. While I currently focus on frontend, I used to write backend applications in Golang, which I also enjoyed.

I'm currently a part of 400 franc, a fully-remote startup of 15ish wonderfully funny and talented people.

As a trans person of colour, I consciously strive to be a safe person to work with and to create a safer workplace for fellow queers/bipocs/people with disabilities 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
