I currently work for Lightbend (formerly Typesafe), the corporate entity behind the Scala programming language, Akka distributed systems framework, Play web framework, and Lagom microservices framework.

In my role at Lightbend I work as an analyst and advisor to major enterprises on systems modernization projects using the principles of reactive programming.
