I run the engineering organization in IBM Research that is building "accelerated science" and digital health services. Previously, I developed Scala software at Lightbend and Domino Data Lab, and I helped spread the word about Ray at Anyscale. Besides Scala, my expertise includes MLOps, data systems, and the full software development lifecycle. I am also the author of several books: -- "Programming Scala, Third Edition", a practical book for experienced software developers that introduces this important, modern programming language. -- "Programming Hive", a comprehensive guide to Hive, the SQL tool for Hadoop (coauthors: Ed Capriolo and Jason Rutherglen). -- "Functional Programming for Java Developers", a succinct introduction for Java developers to the concepts of functional programming, where I motivate its importance and demonstrate how to use FP concepts in Java programs. -- I contributed to Robert Martin's classic, "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" You can find out more about me at these web sites: -- http://deanwampler.com: My personal home page. -- http://polyglotprogramming.com: Presentations, white papers, etc. -- https://deanwampler.medium.com: My blog. -- https://linkedin.com/in/deanwampler: Career Social: -- https://twitter.com/deanwampler -- https://discuss.systems/@deanwampler -- https://post.news/@deanwampler My main hobby, photography: -- https://www.flickr.com/photos/deanwampler/ -- https://glass.photo/bucktrends -- https://vero.co/bucktrends
