Christos Dimitroulas' Blog

Welcome!

My name is Christos Dimitroulas and I'm a software engineer currently working at Formula. My experience is primarily in building web applications, with more of a specialty on backend development although I am comfortable working across the full stack.

On this blog I'll be covering various programming topics that I happen to find interesting or important enough to write about. Most of the code examples will be in either Typescript, Haskell or C# depending on what I'm writing about. I prefer to produce content on more advanced topics rather than making beginner tutorials. I'm a fan of functional programming, so you can expect a bias towards functional languages & style.
