Viktor Kleen
Viktor is a mathematician turned software engineer. After almost a decade of
thinking about algebraic geometry and homotopy theory, he joined Tweag in 2022
to work on more concrete problems. A computer nerd from childhood, he has long
been interested in infrastructure as code methods to manage his fleet of
machines. Using functional languages and strong type systems to save his
configurations from himself, he is currently working on Tweag's Nickel project
to improve the way we deal with software.
Sessions
Nickel is a new configuration language being developed at Tweag. We are
developing tools and libraries for writing Terraform deployments in Nickel. Our
aim is improved modularity and reusability of infrastructure as code projects
by leveraging Nickel's gradual typing and expressive record merging.
