I have been writing software in C# for 8+ years, F# for the last 3, and loving every minute of it, except maybe for a few release days. I enjoy arguing about code and how to make it better, and get very excited when discussing TDD or F#. My other professional interests are applied math and probability. If you want to know more about me, you can check out my blog at www.clear-lines.com/blog, or my rants on Twitter as @brandewinder.
