Searching for new ways of thinking in programming & working with data

I believe that the most interesting work is not the one solving hard problems, but the one changing how we think about the world. I follow this belief in my work on data science tools, functional programming and F# teaching, in my programming languages research and I try to understand it through philosophy of science.

The Gamma

I'm working on making data-driven storytelling easier, more open and reproducible at the Alan Turing Institute.

Consulting

I'm author of definitive F# books and open-source libraries. I offer my F# training and consulting services as part of fsharpWorks.

Academic

I published papers about theory of context-aware programming languages, type providers, but also philosophy of science.

Hello New York. Learn some F#!

Exactly two weeks ago, I started a three month internship at BlueMountain Capital in New York. They have a technical blog and should be well known to the F# community thanks to the R type provider which was written by Howard Mansell (@hmansell). I'll have the pleasure of working with Howard on some more open source data-science related tools for F# (and C#). I'll write more about these when we have something to share, but if you want to contribute and help us, join the Data and Machine Learning working group at F# Foundation.

Aside from my work, I'm also happy to get involved with the great F# community in New York! We already have some events planned - Progressive F# Tutorials and FastTrack to F# are scheduled for September 16.-19. so you can become an F# guru in 4 days :-). But I'm also happy to have a chat with anyone interested in F# and perhaps do a lunch time talk, if you need to convince your colleagues or boss that F# is a good choice.
