About me

I'm a self-taught Haskeller with one year of professional experience (6 years overall). In the past I successfully participated in ACM-style programming competitions; if needed, I'd be able to refresh my knowledge of algorithms quickly.

I enjoy writing tutorials and documenting things, and I care about usability more than I care about principles.

I speak Russian and English.

Potential dealbreakers

• I have dropped out of university.
• I have a job right now so I'll only be available for any offers from September 2017 (but hey, if your offer is awesome I'll consider leaving earlier).
• Besides Haskell, I don't have much experience with other languages.

Haskell

I've been studying and using Haskell for 6 years. I have experience with:

• Lenses: wrote a series of articles explaining in detail how lens is implemented and the theory behind it; my most used library is microlens, a minimal lens library compatible with lens.

• Server-side programming: for a client, I wrote a backend for a static website hosting (with Snap and Sqlite), a CLI tool for interacting with it, and parts of the server and Liquid markup parser/renderer.

• Parsing: for the same client, I designed a small JSONPath-like language for extracting data from JSON and MessagePack files and wrote a parser and an intepreter for it.

• Template Haskell: rewrote a big TH module for my yet-unreleased Aeson fork; know enough to implement a version of makeLenses from lens.

• GUI: have written several utilities using GTK.

• FFI: have written code for simulating keypresses on Linux.

• Interfacing with REST APIs: have written a bot for Telegram together with a binding for Telegram API.

I have several yet-unreleased projects; the one that I'm working on right now is a site for collaborative notes on Haskell libraries.

Additionally, I have written perhaps the most popular Aeson tutorial, and once I designed a Haskell task for a hacker competition.

Everything else

Several years ago I've been actively participating in IOI/ACM-style programming competitions:

• Belarusian National Olympiad (2012): 15th place, silver
• All-Russian Team Olympiad (2011): 10th place, bronze
• Moscow Open Olympiad in Programming (2012): silver

I have basic knowledge of SQL, and Sqlite in particular (where “basic knowledge” means “enough to write a backend for a static website hosting”). I also know some C, Pascal, and Nim.
