About Paul Cleary

Reading time ~1 minute

I have been doing software development for 20 years. My background is pretty diverse having been a developer, architect, consulting, director, and solutions engineer. Nowadays I spend most of my time writing code and generally planing in the Scala space.

I am by no means a Functional Programming expert, most of my background is in OO using Java and fun things like Spring. I have been hacking on Scala for over 4 years now, and have done some deep dives into things like Monads, but I don’t have this “FP First” kind of mindset to development (at least not yet).
