hey

there,

I'm Elan Medoff, a software engineer specializing in web and fullstack development.

These days, I'm especially interested in data fetching on the web, all the new approaches to server-side rendering, and tinkering with my (Neo)Vim config.

I currently work at Wealthfront as a web engineer!
