🤩
RockstarElia Schito is a Principal Software Engineer based in Milan with 21 years of experience building and modernizing Ruby and Rails systems.

A prolific open-source contributor, he has made notable fixes and feature additions to projects like Opal (the Ruby→JavaScript compiler), Solidus, ViewComponent and the Ruby spec suite, often tackling tricky language semantics, source maps and performance hotspots. He also runs a long-standing freelance studio, Eliæ Societas, which keeps him close to design-driven web work and product-side problem solving.
