Tobias started programming at age 12, learned about a dozen programming
languages, before encountering his favorite, Haskell, in 2010. After graduating
as a musician in 2004, he has worked as a software developer in diverse
industries, including transportation, information security, web application
development, hosting / infrastructure, and digital forensics. Current interests
include compilers and language design, DSLs, web frameworks, information
security, usability / user experience, human communication, software quality,
developer productivity and programming psychology.
Tobias is a vivid supporter of Open Source, and an active member of the Haskell
community, authoring and maintaining a number of packages including Ginger, a
Haskell implementation of the popular HTML templating language Jinja, and
Sprinkles, a declarative “zero-programming” website development framework.
