Back to [[conference:committee:speakers-2013]]\\ \\ **Bio**: Along with Matthew Gilliard I run BrisFunctional - Bristol's premier (ok, only) functional programming club. Having had a lot of exposure to FP at university I was sad to find that it was not widely appreciated in industry. A club seemed to be the best way to both spread the word and continue to learn alongside some smart people. It was. To pay the bills I run a web software engineering team for Nokia Music. This means that, unfortunately, FP is strictly a hobby for me (even though the team for which I work has adopted a functional style for their JavaScript - but that's another story).\\ \\ **Email**:thom@tteggel.org\\ \\ [[2013:Functional Programming for the Dysfunctional Programmer]]\\
