Greetings! I'm Andrew Moore, a dedicated web developer residing in the beautiful state of Colorado. My journey in full-stack development began as an apprentice with Launch Scout, where I fell in love with Elixir, Phoenix, and Liveview. Over time, I've had the privilege to contribute to a number of projects, spanning sectors such as housing, finance, logistics, healthcare, auctions, mapping, and real-time communication.
I've been fortunate enough to share my insights and experiences at various conferences, including ElixirConf and CodeBEAM. I'm an avid learner, always staying abreast of the latest trends in web technologies. I firmly believe in deconstructing projects into small, manageable tasks and prioritizing work based on immediate business and technical requirements.
As a visually impaired individual, I've faced and surmounted numerous challenges throughout my life. This has instilled in me a robust ability to persevere and navigate through obstacles, whether they're business-related, technical, or interpersonal. I take particular pride in my presentation at CodeBEAM, where I discussed our transformation of a Liveview application into a PWA that was successfully submitted to the iOS and Google Play stores. I also gave a talk at ElixirConf about Excessibility an a11y testing tool that I developed that works in conjunction with ExUnit, Wallaby, and LiveViewTests to help you find and fix a11y issues in your Elixir app.
When I'm not immersed in coding or presenting at conferences, I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, fishing, and interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. I'm also deeply committed to assisting other blind and visually impaired individuals in securing employment, which inspired the creation of lessthanseventy.
According to the National Federation of the Blind, the non-employment rate among legally blind individuals in the United States was approximately 70% as of 2017. I hope that I can help to reduce that number. I think there are a lot of really talented people out there that just need a chance. People who can bring a unique perspective to software development that can help make the things we work on better not just for others like ourselves, but for everyone.
If you're interested in collaboration or simply wish to connect, don't hesitate to reach out to me at andrew@lessthanseventy.com. You can also find me on GitHub, LinkedIn, or Discord under the username lessthanseventy. I look forward to connecting with you!
