About

I develop software for scientists. My programming language of choice is OCaml, but I enjoy all functional programming languages such as Haskell and F#. I keep on eye on languages that are theoretically interesting, such as Agda and Coq, even though they might be less industrially viable. In my free time, I run the NYC OCaml Meetup, and attend the Homotopy Type Theory Reading Group and Haskell Meetup as much as possible. Currently, I am developing a software platform to manage and analyze genomics data.
