About Evie
19-08-2026
Hi. I'm Evie, and I like tech so much that I
do it both professionally and as a hobby. I have over 15 years of
experience with Haskell, C#, and a little bit of Rust. I also do a lot
of nix. I am currently working as a Staff Engineer.
I usually share a link to this page when I'm looking for work. So, if
you want to contact me, please use
hello ❬at❭ eevie ❬dot❭ ro.
I advocate for hiring and training juniors, against LLMs, and for workers rights.
I think about tech a lot. I care about tech a lot. But I will never assume I'm right, and I will always approach conversations with curiosity and empathy. I never pull rank and always try to reach consensus.
I am trans, queer, pan, poly, neurodivergent and exploring my DID. I value diversity a lot and am a fierce believer in diversity in teams.
Things I enjoy doing in my free time
As advertised, I do tech as a hobby. My nixfiles has over 1100 commits, and I manage 2 desktops, 1 laptop, 1 bare-metal server and 3 virtual servers, all with NixOS. I host a bunch of services for myself and my family (email, calendar, matrix server, media and minecraft servers, local git forge, etc.) and I enjoy using a highly-customized environment for myself.
I built a simple static website generator in Haskell using pandoc and shake that uses markdown for content. I initially built it for a national trans group I'm organising (and we have a bunch of localized articles to help the local community), and also ported this website to use it.
I also recently built a (fish) shell prompt because I got frustrated with starfish embracing LLMs, and I wanted an alternative.
When I'm not coding, I'm either catching up to One Piece, listening to or playing music, and spending time with my partners.
And finally,
Ideally, I would really love to work for a company that is either a coop or has a workers union, that has a strong no-LLM policy, and that is making a real positive change in the world.
But that's a very high bar to reach. I will settle for a company that is:
- not adjacent in any way to the military industrial complex,
- not forcing or expecting me to use LLMs,
- not creating a product around crypto, NFTs, web3, or anything cryptocurrency/blockchain-adjacent.
