About Aven
I'm a software engineer and currently a student completing a master's in computer science at the University of Strathclyde. I'm passionate about software design, functional programming, and applied category theory. I have extensive industry experience as part of a small, Agile team in a startup, remote-first work environment. I can handle deliverables end to end, with experience in frontend and backend languages and devops technologies such as AWS and Terraform. In addition to technical software development skills, I love to learn and have recently begun an academic career focused on applied category theory and game-theoretic modelling in Haskell.
