Full-Stack and AI expertise for your next hard problem.

I'm Rebecca, a Lustre core team member and software engineer since 2015. I help teams ship applications, adopt AI in ways that work sustainably, and introduce Gleam into existing systems.

B2B commerce & integration solutions

I rebuilt our ERP integration software for Shopware, Shopify, and Magento. Taking over a 10+ year-old codebase, I modernised and rebuilt it incrementally, turning it from our hardest to debug systems to our most stable.

Additionally I am responsible for all in-house Shopware and PHP work, developing customer and client-facing extensions. I also develop and deploy testing strategies and am one of the driving forces behind the push towards test-driven development.

Responsible AI use

I provide AI consulting and act as the company's AI officer for the EU AI Act, organising AI opportunities and safety workshops and training. I help design, implement, and improve AI-assisted development and sales processes.

Getting AI to work well in practice is hard. I help cautiously optimistic teams weigh the benefits against the costs, risks, and effects on people. Part of that work is questioning whether AI belongs in a process at all.

Full-stack & app development · 2018–2024

audaris

I built cross-platform vehicle photography apps with AI-assisted image processing and information extraction, and a customer-facing showroom integrated into over 300 websites. I also developed frontend and backend features for the dealer management system, including the design and architecture of the shared REST-ful API and the platform integration system to one of the biggest markets in the world.

I led the Kubernetes architecture and CI/CD rollout, including logging, monitoring, and alerting, substantially improving availability (over 4 nines) while also cutting costs. I introduced code reviews, mentored colleagues, and documented release workflows and operations.

Gleam & the BEAM

  • Lustre

    I help maintain Gleam's most popular web framework as a core team member, where I mostly work on engine internals. I also regularly give talks about Gleam & Lustre.

  • gleepack

    I built gleepack to bundle Gleam and Erlang programs into standalone executables, so people can run them without installing Erlang first.

  • crew

    crew helps you to queue jobs and spread concurrent work across a pool of workers in Gleam and Erlang.

  • iv

    I made the fastest "array"-like data structure on the BEAM, natively implemented in Gleam.

What working with me looks like

I enjoy getting to know a team, sharing what I know, and learning from the people I work with. I care about our software and the people using it and want us to build .

When I join a project, I take time to understand the existing systems and the decisions behind them. We can start with a focused review or a small implementation. We’ll agree on the scope and talk through the tradeoffs, including whether a simpler approach would serve you better.

I’m happy to investigate and work independently, pair on a difficult problem, or help your team learn. I value kind teams, direct communication, room to disagree, and documentation that helps the next person.

What I bring to the table

Gleam and Lustre are my focus, but I enjoy getting to know unfamiliar systems and the people who use them. Years of building applications and running them in production help me connect the details to the bigger picture.
