Marshall Bowers — Full-stack Engineer

Hey there, I'm Marshall.

I'm a full-stack engineer with over 7 years of experience building production-ready web applications.

I'm a functional programming enthusiast, with a penchant for strongly-typed functional languages like F#, Haskell, and Idris.

I care deeply about code quality and technical excellence.

My primary goal on any team is to serve as a force multiplier to increase the effectiveness of those around me. In pursuit of this goal I strive for practiced empathy, constant self-improvement, and clear written and verbal communications.
