Lex Sheehan has a B.S. in Computer Science from Auburn University, resides in Atlanta, GA, and works as a senior software engineer with over 20 years of experience. He has a deep understanding of functional programming (FP). After using FP techniques in Ruby, Scala, JavaScript, Haskell, and Java, and writing an article about FP in Go, he decided it was time to write a book about it. Lex worked for IBM Software Group and IBM Global Business Services, designing and building various enterprise business systems. He is the author of eight US patents (IT security and data transformations) and he writes a blog titled Application Development with Lex Sheehan. Lex has turned his attention to distributed systems programming and crypto economics. He is currently leveraging his background in Go and passion for blockchain technologies to build a privacy layer for the Ethereum (and other) blockchains. Lex is available to consult and meet with your CTO and/or provide in-house training on the information in this book and related technologies.
