My name is Zef Hemel. I’m Dutch, yet I live in Poznań, Poland.

I went to school for a while (B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Groningen, M.Sc. from Trinity College Dublin, Ph.D. from Delft University of Technology), then I worked for Cloud9 IDE and architected their language analysis infrastructure, and later became VP of Engineering. Currently I work at LogicBlox as a developer advocate and product manager. I also write about HTML5 and JavaScript on InfoQ.

I’ve spoken on a number of conferences. Some recent ones:

• QCon London, 2012 (video, interview)
• GOTO Amsterdam, 2012
• Meet.js summit, 2012 (video)
• GeeCon, 2012 (video)
• Front row, 2011 (video)

My interests are fairly wide, ranging from programming languages and paradigms to the art of writing and presenting, and things in between.
