In this episode of Elixir in Focus, part of the SE4FP https://se4fp.github.io/2025/ warm-up series, host Adolfo Neto welcomes Mackenzie Morgan, a senior backend engineer at Level All. Mackenzie shares her journey into technology, which began with a focus on Japanese and International Affairs at university. She recounts how the “siren song of the computer lab” and a scheduling conflict between an algorithms class and a Japanese class ultimately led her to a computer science degree, a path she had already begun exploring through her contributions to the Ubuntu project as an undergraduate.

Elixir em Foco is the podcast of the Brazilian community of Elixir, the programming language created by Brazilian José Valim that is used by companies around the world to develop scalable and easy-to-maintain applications. Elixir runs on the Erlang virtual machine, known for enabling the creation of low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. These features, combined with Elixir’s tools, allow developers to be productive in a variety of domains, such as web development, embedded software, machine learning, data pipelines, and multimedia processing, across a wide range of industries.
