Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDivam Narula is a seasoned software programmer with 13 years of experience, currently based in Yamanashi, Japan, and working at Obsidian Systems. He brings deep functional programming expertise—demonstrated by contributions to high-profile Haskell projects like GHC and the Reflex FRP ecosystem—spanning back-end, front-end, and build tooling including WebAssembly support. His background includes full-stack Haskell product work (notably a Japanese learning app) and low-power EDA software development, showing comfort across domains from developer tooling to consumer apps. Divam’s contributions often focus on improving code clarity, documentation, and cross-platform builds, reflecting a pragmatic engineer who values maintainability and portability. Notably, he has hands-on experience modifying compiler internals and enabling WASM targets in Nix-based build systems, a combination that’s rare outside compiler and systems engineers.

reflex-frp/reflex-dom
Dec 2018 - Jul 2022
Web applications without callbacks or side-effects. Reflex-DOM brings the power of functional reactive programming (FRP) to the web. Build HTML and other Document Object Model (DOM) data with a pure functional interface.
Role in this project:Front-end Developer
Front-end DeveloperContributions:27 commits, 9 PRs, 7 pushes in 3 years 7 months
Contributions summary:Divam primarily contributed to the Reflex-DOM library, focusing on UI-related enhancements. They fixed haddock documentation, added `INLINABLE` pragmas, and removed `ChildResult` from the codebase. The user also addressed a permission issue within an Android-specific implementation, allowing for geolocation functionality. These changes suggest a focus on improving the library's documentation, internal structure, and platform support.
