Consultancy
TurtleWare is a software consultancy founded in 2015 to work in line with my values and principles. I specialize in Common Lisp, graphical interfaces, compiler development and C/POSIX systems. I have worked with startups, companies and individuals both as an external advisor and as part of the team. Notably:
- currently developing Web Embeddable Common Lisp (WASM) under an NLnet grant,
- currently consulting for Virtual Insurance Products as a Common Lisp developer,
- implemented complex float specialization in ECL for Rigetti Computing,
- created and led a Quality Assurance team at Emergynt Security,
- consulted for Robert Strandh to improve McCLIM and the SICL compiler.
As an independent consultant my availability changes with time. Get in touch if you are interested in working together, need help with your projects or want to commission a feature in one of my projects.
About me
My name is Daniel Kochmański and I'm a Hacker and an engineer. To me computer science and programming are a discipline that sits at the intersection of science and art. I have a strong sense of aesthetics and curiosity. I'm also a free software and Common Lisp enthusiast.
I'm a lead developer and maintainer of two large Common Lisp projects:
- Embeddable Common Lisp - a portable and efficient compiler and runtime,
- McCLIM - a toolkit to build semantically-aware applications.
My responsibilities span writing code, designing features, helping newcomers, testing, publishing releases and writing documentation. These are demanding but also very satisfying activities. Don't hesitate if you want to help! Each project's website has links to repositories and communication channels.
If you want to support me in my free software activities and technical writing, you can become my patron or send money to my PayPal. Thank you!
This website
turtleware.eu is my website where I publish deep dives into technical topics that are interesting to me. It is meant to serve both as a teaching material for like-minded people and as a showcase of my expertise. You may also find here links to my public work, notably McCLIM, ECL and to talks I gave at conferences.
My posts and a less organized set of notes are available here. I'm happy to discuss ideas!
