Bio

After spending a decade Proxying AbstractBeanInstaces from FactoryBuilderImpls in Java land, Stew found himself on a project using Scala, and hasn't looked back since. Stew is currently a software architect for Verizon where he spends a lot of energy evangelizing about the power of a more pure approach to functional programming. In his spare time he's writing documentation for the newly formed Cats project.
