About the Author

Alexandre Grison
Alexandre Grison

I'm a Software Engineer from Metz/France, working as a Tech Lead & Software Craftsman in Luxembourg.

I have been using Vavr since before it was called Vavr and I am interested in Functional Programming, Software Craftsmanship and beautiful code.

You can find me on Twitter or on my website.
