Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDave Thomas is a senior engineer with over 15 years of hands-on experience and a 20+ year track record delivering high-performance, low-latency systems across finance, biotech, developer tools, and media. He specializes in functional programming languages (F#, OCaml, Elm, Rust, Swift) and pragmatic systems engineering, often bridging prototype research (Python DSP R&D) with production C++ implementations. Currently he is developing a professional real-time audio DSP plugin in partnership with a U.S. company, focusing on ultra-low-latency signal paths using JUCE. An active open-source contributor, Dave has strengthened the F# ecosystem through work on Fable, FsAutoComplete and core F# tooling—adding fetch API support, refactorings, and cross-platform test coverage. He runs Moirae Software Engineering as director, combining consultancy and product work, and creates educational content on YouTube about functional programming and software design. A guitarist and frequent polyglot coder, he blends musical sensitivity with rigorous performance engineering to tackle time-critical systems.
