About the Author

Nishant Shukla is a computer scientist with a passion for mathematics. Throughout the years, he has worked for a handful of start-ups and large corporations including WillowTree Apps, Microsoft, Facebook, and Foursquare.

Stepping into the world of Haskell was his excuse for better understanding Category Theory at first, but eventually, he found himself immersed in the language. His semester-long introductory Haskell course in the engineering school at the University of Virginia (http://shuklan.com/haskell) has been accessed by individuals from over 154 countries around the world, gathering over 45,000 unique visitors.

Besides Haskell, he is a proponent of decentralized Internet and open source software. His academic research in the fields of Machine Learning, Neural Networks, and Computer Vision aim to supply a fundamental contribution to the world of computing.

Between discussing primes, paradoxes, and palindromes, it is my delight to invent the future with Marisa.

With appreciation beyond expression, but an expression nonetheless—thank you Mom (Suman), Dad (Umesh), and Natasha.
