Sashan Govender
Sashan has worked in the industry mostly on Linux doing C/C++ programming for various network appliance manufacturers. He always thought functional programming was cool ever since doing Haskell at university, because it is one of those languages that when it compiled it was mostly logically correct. However, there were limited opportunities to use functional languages of academia in the early 2000's. He discovered F# around 2010, but never had an opportunity to use it until .NET was ported to Linux. Now he develops API endpoints for TAB (Online Sports & Horse Racing Betting Australia | TAB) in Australia using F#, believes F# can improve the quality of your work life, and is interested in techniques for getting buy in from stakeholders so that more companies adopt its use.
