Hey, I'm Elliot! 👋

I'm Elliot Wilson, a software engineer with an unusual journey. I got degrees in ancient Greek history/archaeology from Harvard and Princeton before I discovered that my real calling was software engineering. There were signs along the way, of course, including a few years I spent as a consultant specializing in implementing Workday's HRIS software. I'm currently building projects using Ruby on Rails as well as the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React / Redux, Node.js).

In my spare time, you can catch me training for the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon and DJing on the radio at WPRB.

me!
