Ganesh works for Credit Suisse's Global Modelling and Analytics Group in London, developing tools and infrastructure for the bank's quantitative modellers, using both Haskell and F#. He also organises the London Haskell User Group and is a contributor to darcs, a distributed version control system written in Haskell.

His interest in functional programming started over ten years ago when he learnt Haskell at university, and since then he has used a number of functional languages in a variety of settings, both academic and industrial. Although most at home in Haskell because of its rich type system, he enjoys leveraging the multiparadigm nature of F# in interesting ways and has even been known to apply functional techniques in Java and C++.

Ganesh will give a talk on Functional Programming for Quantitative Modelling at Credit Suisse at the Functional Progamming eXchange 2009.
