About me

Hello! My name is Vasiliy Yorkin and this is my personal website.

I’m interested in statically typed functional programming, type theory and formal verification. These days I spend most of my time exploring the world of FP and category theory.

I’ve started to learn functional programming for real in winter 2017, when Haskell caught my interest and a couple of months later I had a chance to use it at work.

Previously I’ve worked as a frontend developer for quite some time. Before that I’ve been using Elixir for about a year and even earlier I’ve been writing some Ruby. A long, long time ago, I worked as a .NET developer and used C#. Now I have completely moved over to functional programming. I’ve been using Haskell for over the year now, and it has been my main development language for about 5 months.

In this blog I’m going to write about some of the things I do. Particularly about Haskell, PureScript and OCaml, but sometimes about Nix (and NixOS), Coq and other technologies and ideas I’m care about.

Occasionally I tweet about those and other things on Twitter. Most of my open source work is available on GitHub.

Résumé is here.

Currently I’m located in Moscow, Russia. But 6 months a year I live in Germany. Feel free to get in touch if you want to hang out and discuss any of those topics.
