Senior🎓
Top SchoolAxel Clark is a software engineer based in Los Angeles with 10 years of experience building Elixir and Phoenix applications, specializing in LiveView-driven UX and TailwindCSS. He combines hands-on engineering with product and growth instincts—having launched StakNine, an Elixir-focused blog and tooling site that reached 20K visitors in nine months and sold 100+ copies of his Phoenix Deployment Handbook. Axel has shipped production features and bug fixes to notable open-source projects like kaffy, improving admin search behavior and responsive rendering, and built real-time features that delivered 99% uptime for a fantasy sports app. His background leading large procurement teams in the U.S. Air Force brings operational rigor and cross-functional leadership to software delivery and automation. At American Operator and Beacon he applied web and API integrations to streamline small-business marketplaces and valuation workflows. He’s as comfortable architecting database models and OTP-based reliability as he is optimizing SEO, payments, and developer deployment flows.
