About the authors
Mika?l Valot is Principal Software Engineer at IHS Markit in London, UK. He is the lead developer of a strategic market risk solution for banking regulation.
He has over 15 years of experience in the financial industry of the UK, Switzerland, and France. He has a Dipl?me d'Ingénieur in Computing (equivalent to an M.Sc.) from Telecom Nancy, France.
After years of working with Java, he started developing professionally with Scala in 2010, and never looked back. He was a speaker at Scala Exchange 2015.
When he is not coding in Scala, Mika?l likes to dabble with Haskell, the Robotic Operating System, and deep learning.
He strongly believes that functional programming with strong typing is the best way to write safe and scalable programs.
I express my gratitude to my wife, Anne, my children, Charline & Lucile, for their continued support, and to Nicolas, for the great contribution and fun, he brought to this project.
I thank all the people who helped write this book:
Christopher Chane-Yook, Qiong Lee, Gaurav Gala, Titos Matsakos, Zeeyan Pinheiro, Jean Zottner
Nicolas Jorand is a senior developer. He worked for the finance industry for about 15 years before switching to the energy industry. He is a freelancer enjoying a partial time at Romande Energy, a Swiss utility company providing exclusively green electricity. Nicolas is a full-stack developer, playing with microcontrollers, developing standard web user and 3D interfaces on Unity, developing software to animate a humanoid robot (Nao) and finally, working with Scala on integration and backend software. All these projects are done with the same leitmotif; "In the dev process, get the issues as early as possible."
