Welcome

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

My name is Tim McGilchrist. I currently work as a Principal Software Engineer with Tarides.

I find functional programming interesting and effective for solving problems. Mostly I use OCaml and Haskell but have known Erlang, Elixir, Lisp and Standard ML at various times. My interests are compilers, distributed systems and operating systems. I give talks on these topics at user-groups and conferences. If you are interested in me speaking, let me know via email: timmcgil@gmail.com
