Networking and performance engineerZeus Technology
Declan’s focus is on high performance network software, and has been the architect of several products at Zeus Technology, Riverbed Technology and Juniper Networks. He pays his bills through writing low-level networking code in C++, but his main passion is the beauty and simplicity of functional programming. Through his experience and battles with large, ageing, imperative codebases over the past 10 years, he has recognised that FP is the best candidate remedy.
Declan is also a regular speaker at ScalaSyd, Sydney’s Scala User Group.
