hey

there,

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

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

I currently work at Wealthfront as a web engineer!
