About Tom Moertel

photo of tom I am a software guy with a background in electrical engineering. I have been writing software for about twenty years. Since 1998, I have owned and operated Moertel Consulting, a software and Internet consultancy, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

If you want to meet me at a conference or other event, my picture is to the left.

My favorite programming language is (presently) Haskell, but I also write software in most common programming languages, including C, C++, Perl, and Ruby. I am an advocate of functional programming, which is sadly overlooked by most of the programming world.

I am a proud member of the Pittsburgh Perl Mongers and a regular at our festive monthly meetings (second Thursday of each month).

I like coffee, in particular espresso, and often roast and blend my own coffees. I also enjoy loose-leaf teas.
