ABOUT ME

Ex Googler, ❤ Haskell, functional programming, CS theory

I've been programming since middle school, took an interest in programming languages and paradigms; I do em all. Eventually fell in love with Haskell as my main bae. I'm good at pure functional programming and its design patterns, and PL stuff––parsing, compiling, DSL design, virtual machines, type checking, etc.

I enjoy teaching and tutoring, pair programming -- anything where I get to interact with another human while I'm working.

Awesome codementor! I tend to over think, and rush to something that just works. Luke was great at helping me slow down and find elegant solutions.
