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

I enjoy crafting beautiful applications, especially in a cohesive team, using JavaScript and JS-fueled/related tools such as React.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Redux.js, Gatsby, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Jest, Git and more.

As a trans person of colour, I consciously strive to be a safer person to work with and create a safer workplace for the fellow queer/bipoc/people with disabilities. Although things have improved for us these past several years as mentioned in here and here, I believe the tech and open source community can be even more inclusive and diversed with our continuous effort.

Besides the things mentioned above, I am also keen on

• Operating systems
• Blockchain
• FOSS
• Hackathons & GameJams
• Teaching how to code, especially socially & culturally marginalized folks
• Online privacy
• Net neutrality
• Technical document translation (English - Japanese)

Oh, you too? Excellent! Let's make it happen together or let me contribute to your project.
