Profile:

Duncan has more than ten years programming experience with Haskell. He is a well known member of the Haskell community. He helps maintain several popular libraries and tools including Cabal and bytestring. He also has several years experience in packaging the Haskell platform for Gentoo Linux. In 2004, in a team with Ian Lynagh and two others, he won the ICFP contest with an all-Haskell entry.

He holds a first class degree in Computer Science from Oxford University and is shortly to complete a PhD there too. He has published papers at international conferences, including ICFP. His research focus is on generating high performance code from idiomatic high level Haskell code. This included co-authoring the bytestring and binary libraries and work on stream fusion for lists. He has five years experience teaching computer science, including four years teaching Haskell to mature students at graduate level.
