What the F(p) is Kotlin?

Hi, I'm Shelby

About me
I'm a software engineer is on the Search Infrastructure team at Twitter.
Whether it is Android development, server-side development, or functional programming, I always love to be learning and improving my skills as an engineer. Prior to Twitter, I was a Senior Software Engineer at Intuit who worked on developing UI components and tooling for native mobile applications. At Intuit, I also spent time working on back-end services in Kotlin and Java in the Developer Productivity Organization, leading cross-division engineering efforts to allow seamless development and testing of products, such as TurboTax, Mint, and QuickBooks.
Recently I was a guest on the Lambda Show Podcast and the Belfast Kotlin User Group talking about how you can get started with Functional Programming! Listen here🎤 and here!

Software Engineers Katie Levy and Shelby Cohen seem to have found the secret sauce."
