I'm Daniel, a software engineer from Berlin, Germany. I'm a senior consultant at INNOQ and co-organizer of ScalaBridge Berlin, the Berlin chapter of the ScalaBridge organization.

I care about empathy and inclusivity, and about the ethical, social, and ecological consequences of our work.

📚 I have written three books about Scala, one of them still being a work in progress:

• The Neophyte's Guide to Scala
• Scala from Scratch: Exploration
• Scala from Scratch: Understanding

📔 I have a blog where I write about functional programming and other things related to making software. Here are a few of the most popular articles:

• The Empathic Programmer
• The Complexity Trap: Think Before You Leap
• Put your writes where your master is: Compile-time restriction of Slick effect types

📛 I have been doing quite a few talks at conferences at meetups, in recent times also remotely/online.

Here's some interesting facts about me that are unrelated to work and tech:

• ☕ I'm a bit of a coffee snob
• 🇮🇸 I'm learning Icelandic
• 🎭 I play pen&paper roleplaying and story games

If you like any of my work and wish to support me, please consider buying one of the books linked above or writing a review. I'm also on Ko-fi if you wish to gift me a coffee.
