Matt Parker is a researcher and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building functional, full‑stack systems from Boulder, Colorado. He specializes in functional programming—particularly Clojure and increasingly Haskell and Elm—and applies machine learning techniques (text analysis, genetic algorithms, neural networks) to practical problems like intelligent Slack bots and event-processing platforms. His background spans startup product work, freelance web design, and academic AI research (including Quake II interfaces and published conference papers), giving him a rare mix of experimental rigor and shipping-oriented engineering. Notably, he authored the open-source Clojure library Posh and has deep experience with Datomic/DataScript, Onyx, and Postgres, enabling robust data-driven applications.
