When I'm not coding, you might find me watching the northern lights with my kids taking care of the chickens.\n\n## 🔭 Currently Working On\n\n- Building and scaling AI interfaces at **Grafana Labs** (4+ years and counting!)\n- Running **[Pliosoft Corporation](http://www.pliosoft.com)** - my consulting company since 2014\n- Maintaining open-source projects\n\n## 🛠️ Tech Stack \u0026 Languages\n\n### Languages I Hack In\n- **Haskell** λ - For when elegance matters\n- **Rust** 🦀 - Because proper generics and result enums are non-negotiable\n- **TypeScript** 📘 - Types are great, and javascript is everywhere\n- **C++** - 7+ years at IBM building compilers taught me a thing or two\n- **Ruby** 💎 - Still holds a special place in my toolkit\n- **Go** - Though I might rage-quit over lack of proper generics...\n\n### Areas of Deep Expertise\n- **Compiler Development** - Former IBM compiler architect, worked on C++ and Fortran compilers\n- **Observability \u0026 Monitoring** - Making complex systems understandable at Grafana\n- **Systems Programming** - From OS kernels to supercomputer apps\n- **Full-Stack Development** - Websites, mobile apps, and everything in between\n\n## 🎓 Background\n\n- **University of Alberta** - BSc in Computer Science (2002-2006)\n  - Built a Pascal compiler, MIPS pipeline simulator, and Unix OS kernel\n  - Almost double-majored in Mathematics\n- **IBM Canada** - Compiler Developer (2006-2014)\n  - C++ compiler development and company-wide compiler IL architect\n  - Delivered full F2003 language standard support for Fortran compiler\n\n## 🌱 Currently Exploring\n\n- React Server Components (bye bye REST/GraphQL APIs! JSX on the wire)\n- Advanced AI user interface patterns\n- Functional programming patterns in production systems\n\n## 💬 Ask Me About\n\n- Building compilers and understanding language internals\n- The joy of functional programming in real-world applications\n- Why arrow functions shouldn't be used everywhere in JavaScript\n- Life on a ranch while working in tech\n\n## 🤝 Looking to Collaborate On\n\n- Functional programming libraries that actually ship to production\n- Developer tools that reduce complexity without adding abstraction layers\n- Open-source observability and monitoring solutions\n\n## 📫 How to Reach Me\n\n- **X (Twitter)**: [@clord](https://twitter.com/clord)\n- **LinkedIn**: [christopherlord](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherlord/)\n\n## 🎯 Philosophy\n\n*\"The initial step should be to reduce complexity, cut processes, and narrow the scope. Aim to deliver smaller features more frequently: maintain momentum. Teams should pursue their passions within the project direction - rigidity diminishes motivation and creativity.\"*\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fclord%2Fclord","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fclord%2Fclord","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fclord%2Fclord/lists"}
