Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Tuerk is a formal methods expert and functional programmer with 20 years of experience building and verifying software, currently running his own company and freelancing from Brechen, Germany. He is an HOL4 specialist who's also fluent in Isabelle/HOL and Coq, with deep expertise in separation logic, program refinement, and automata-based model checking. His background spans academic research (PhD from Cambridge) and industry-grade verification work, including hardening a microhypervisor at FireEye and contributing to the canonical HOL4 theorem prover codebase. Thomas uniquely bridges multiple theorem provers and domain experts, having built tools like Lem and now developing ADATT to translate design intent into formal specifications across prover backends. He complements his research credentials with practical product work—shipping a commercial exam-planning app through his GmbH—while continuing part-time programming to keep skills applied and current.
