About

I am Tim McGilchrist.

I currently work as a Principal Software Engineer at Tarides working with OCaml.

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, operating systems, and general systems hackery.

I help organise the Sydney based Functional Programming group, FP-Syd.

My open source contributions are mostly on github.com/tmcgilchrist and Tangled.

I occasionally use Mastodon, BlueSky and Linkedin.

Outside of computing I enjoy music, MTB riding, growing plants and being outdoors.

I can be contacted at @tsmc@hachyderm.io on Mastodon or email timmcgil@gmail.com.
