Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMikolaj Konarski is a Haskell consultant and PhD-trained programming languages researcher with 15+ years of experience designing and improving nontrivial software systems through mathematical modeling and functional programming. He advises, architects and implements production-grade solutions—often within the GHC ecosystem—regularly contributing to flagship projects like the Glasgow Haskell Compiler and Cabal where he’s worked on the RTS, event tracing and test automation. Comfortable bridging theory and practice, he applies formal methods and compiler techniques to deliver measurable architectural improvements within a year of joining a project. He leads teams and products, having built a stable Haskell group for Standard Chartered’s treasury modelling hub and maintained open-source libraries such as horde-ad for AD in Haskell. His background blends rigorous academic research, decades of Free Software contributions and pragmatic engineering instincts honed through DIY hardware and home-improvement tinkering. Equally at ease explaining designs to non-technical stakeholders, he favors principled yet incremental approaches—refactoring, modularization and cost-aware engineering.

Contributions summary:Mikolaj primarily contributed to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) project, focusing on enhancements to the runtime system (RTS) and event logging infrastructure. Their commits involved adding and modifying event tracing to incorporate spark counters, GC event synchronization, and timestamp corrections. They also refactored code related to task IDs and made changes to the GC statistics, including the renaming of a variable to align with other related work.
