What have I been doing with my life?
Recent PhD graduate in computer science from the University of Edinburgh.Publications
Inlining in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler: Empirical Investigation and Improvement PhD thesis. 2025. All implementation is mine, but I did work with Simon Peyton Jones on this topic a bit.
