Speaker - Mike Lynch

Mike works in the eResearch Support Group at the University of Technology Sydney and probably writes more code than his job description allows for. He has been providing specialised data management and IT support to academic researchers across a wide range of disciplines for the past ten years, and these days does most of his coding in JavaScript and Python. His recent work has focused on the use of open source software and open standards to describe, publish and preserve research data. He's also interested in generative art, data visualisation and functional programming.
