I'm Ale
- π for the past 6+ years I've been working at Depop where I solve business and commercial problems and delight Depop users through technology. As a member of the engineering leadership, I work closely with C levels and senior leadership in shaping the longer-term technical strategy and vision within the organisation and I'm directly responsible of leading a number of company-wise engineering initiatives at scale while having fun implementing backend technical solutions using Scala and functional programming (among other things). Find out more about my current and past roles on linkedin or read my cv (proudly typeset in LaTex :D not very parsable by automatic tooling :D )
- π¬ Ask me about .. anything! Always keen to have a chat about all sort of topics: physics, mathematics, functional programming, business, blues πΌ, books π, gin πΈ Well, almost anything: I'm very bad at cooking, let's not chat about that :P
- Not very active on open source, but love to share publicly here whatever I'm currently working on (even if not completed). In my github account you'll find a variety of different things, including latex notes and slides (about physics, math, programming, and statistics); playground projects for different programing languages, libraries, and tools (eg, scala, haskell, TLA+, CI/CD); various giter8 templates to generate new projects; and more.
- π± Among my favourite topics in programming: pragmatism & strongly statically typed functional programming; concurrency and distributed systems; correctness of computer programs (TDD, PBT, formal specification and verification, Agda, Stainless, TLA+, etc). Generally interested in the intersection between technology and business, wisely using advanced concepts when appropriate to reliably deliver robust solutions in a timely manner
- my favourite programming languages: Scala & Haskell
- π° do you have money and you want to invest on a new business but not sure how to tackle the development of a digital product? Write to me, I might know a trustable ninjia team that can make it happen quickly and robustly, but we are not cheap!

- I own another github account https://github.com/acando86 that i only use for work
