      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m Art Kay, a backend engineer in Brooklyn, NY. I&amp;rsquo;ve been writing software
for 25 years - these days mostly in Elixir and Go, with a good stretch of
Python and a lot of Terraform along the way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m currently a backend engineer at
&lt;a href=&#34;https://icapital.com&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34; class=&#34;iconlink&#34;&gt;&lt;img
    src=&#34;https://artkay.net/logos/icapital.png&#34; alt=&#34;iCapital logo&#34; width=&#34;14&#34;
    height=&#34;14&#34; loading=&#34;lazy&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;iCapital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,
where I work on the identity, onboarding, and investor-accreditation systems
that came over with the acquisition of
&lt;a href=&#34;https://parallelmarkets.com&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34; class=&#34;iconlink&#34;&gt;&lt;img
    src=&#34;https://artkay.net/logos/parallel.png&#34; alt=&#34;Parallel Markets logo&#34; width=&#34;14&#34;
    height=&#34;14&#34; loading=&#34;lazy&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Parallel Markets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
in early 2025. I was Parallel Markets&amp;rsquo; first employee and spent five years
there building its identity verification (KYC/AML), accreditation, and
partner-data platforms - from prototype to production, through the exit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h3 id=&#34;elixir-libraries&#34;&gt;Elixir libraries&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://hex.pm/packages/ex_aws_kms&#34;&gt;ex_aws_kms&lt;/a&gt; - ExAws service package
for AWS KMS; 1.2M+ downloads on Hex.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://hex.pm/packages/fakerer&#34;&gt;fakerer&lt;/a&gt; - Faker than Faker: a
maintained, drop-in-compatible fork of Elixir&amp;rsquo;s Faker library.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;unreadherringcom&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://unreadherring.com&#34;&gt;unreadherring.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A local-first Elixir/LiveView tool that draws a sunburst of your Gmail
clutter and lets you cut it down. Nothing leaves your machine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;amionlinenet&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://amionline.net&#34;&gt;amionline.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A deliberately boring plain-HTTP page whose only job is to trigger captive
Wi-Fi portals when nothing else will.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;yellingatthecloud&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://yellingatthe.cloud&#34;&gt;yellingatthe.cloud&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A status page for the cloud services I depend on. When something is down, an
old man yells at a cloud; when everything is fine, he sleeps. One HTML file.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
