Top SchoolAbraham Howland is a Senior Staff Software Engineer in Austin with 10 years building backend systems and domain logic, primarily implemented in Haskell. He has advanced through technical roles at H-E-B after earlier engineering work at Flipstone, bringing experience shipping services in Haskell, JavaScript, Java, and Python. A passionate functional-programming advocate, he focuses on correctness and maintainability in core systems rather than flashy front-end work.

Colleagues rely on him to architect robust, data-centric services and mentor teams translating business rules into provably safer code.
