at work.
Photo by Virginie-Sankara Cantin-DiarraBonjour / Hi. Thomas here. I’m a software developer living in Montreal, Canada. I'm a great enthusiast of functional programming. Constantly learning and exploring ways to get better understanding of functional paradigms, I try to leverage them to solve meaningful business problems. I won't be able to fix your printer.
On the side you'll find me taking pictures, nursing my plants and playing video games. I'm also a bearer of Tinnitus. I even took a photo of a bear that became famous on Unsplash and was published. You can learn a bit more about me reading this article from the Unsplash blog.
I'm currently working with the folks at Unsplash and create the future of open photography. Formely at Crew, Transit, Automat.
