Hi, I'm Brian Emory.

But you probably already knew that since you're on my website. You can find me all over @thebrianemory. I am a backend software engineer residing in the Phoenix area. I got my start in programming when I stumbled upon a click-baity post on Facebook from Business Insider about a Ruby on Rails course.

When I realized programming is what I wanted to do, I attended an online Ruby on Rails bootcamp. I have since taught myself Elixir and while I have written both professionally, I greatly prefer Elixir. (Fun fact: I used Elixir's web framework Phoenix LiveView to build this site and my Wordle Checker.)

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or Bluesky. I look forward to hearing from you!
