Aysylu Greenberg works at Google on Drive infrastructure. In her spare time, she ponders the design of systems that deal with inaccuracies, paints and sculpts. Aysylu's first functional language was Clojure, which she used as a getaway from OO programming during weeknights and weekends. She has since found herself applying the functional principles to improve her C++ and Java code in her day job. Now she can pretend she's doing functional programming with Java8, if she squints at it a bit.
Mike has been writing software for 15+ years and has recently been bitten by the functional programming bug. He's on his 5th time trying to teach himself Haskell and this time it may just stick. When he's not writing writing code or coaching other developers, you can find him our riding his mountain bike, climbing or hiking around the hills of Boulder. You also might find him enjoying some of the amazing breweries that dot the landscape of Boulder and the surrounding towns.
David Greenberg loves learning new things. He is an independent consultant who previously worked at Two Sigma, where he led the effort to rebuild their computing infrastructure. His desire to learn has lead him to study Russian and Spanish, and he is an enthusiastic home cook. He's interested in high performance software and distributed systems. He's the author of the O'Reilly book "Building Applications on Mesos".
Kris is a software engineer based in Boulder, Colorado. He is aficionado of strongly typed functional programming languages, mostly because he's not smart enough to write working software using anything else. He likes writing Haskell in Scala, struggles with writing Haskell in Haxe, and sometimes actually writes Haskell in Haskell. His hobbies include blacksmithing, experimenting with software-mediated economies, and climbing on rocks.
Simon Belak is the Chief Analytics Officer at GoOpti where he is in charge of making the company data-driven; building analytics infrastructure (end goal: provide any answer stemming from data in 2 min or less); and developing a predictive real-time pricing and risk hedging engine. Before GoOpti he worked with over 20 startups and growth companies helping them become data driven and set up (or level up) their analytics departments.
Now an accomplished speaker on the tech circuit, he used to be an avid competitive debater winning multiple international tournaments and ranked top English as a foreign language speaker at Worlds Universities Debating Championship in 2008. He taught debate on primary school, high school and university level, including coaching the Slovenian national team (which went on to win the World Championship).
