Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Hollyer is a self-taught software developer with 15 years of hands-on experience building practical web applications, particularly in Ruby on Rails and, more recently, Elixir/Phoenix and Elm. He turned a long-standing passion for programming—sparked on a Vic-20—into commercial and in-house products, notably a bespoke system that streamlined his family business and cut customer admin time significantly. Comfortable across the full stack, he favors interactive WebSocket-driven UIs and authored the elm-phoenix-websocket package to bridge Elm and Phoenix in production-friendly ways. Paul has run and directed businesses, combining technical delivery with operations, sales, and accounts, and now focuses on personal projects while being available for hire. An interesting thread through his career is pragmatic automation: he prefers reliable, local infrastructure over cloud spend when it better serves the business.
