About me
Hi! my name is Gil Mizrahi. I am a software developer with special interest in typed functional languages with focus on useful, real-world software.
I enjoy working on compilers, games, concurrent and network applications, as well as teaching and sharing my knowledge and experience. In my blog I write about programming and about Haskell with the purpose of making complex topics more accessible.
Feel free to reach out to me on mastodon or via e-mail (linked above).
