Hi, I’m Zach Daniel — an Elixir engineer based in Greensboro, North Carolina, and the creator of Ash Framework, a resource-oriented application framework for Elixir.
Ash is built on a simple but powerful idea: declarative design unlocks clarity, speed, and maintainability. It helps developers express complex systems with less code, fewer bugs, and more confidence. Since its debut at ElixirConf 2020, Ash has grown into a full ecosystem — and it continues to evolve quickly.
I pour a huge amount of time, energy, and care into this project — both professionally and personally — because I believe it’s pushing the boundaries of what developer experience in Elixir can look like.
If Ash has been valuable to you or your team, sponsoring its development is a meaningful way to support its future. Every bit helps keep the work sustainable and the momentum strong.
Thanks for being part of the journey.
— Zach
