Scott Lystig Fritchie

Stuck in distributed systems tarpits for 30 years

Scott Lystig Fritchie was a UNIX systems administrator until he returned to programming full-time at Sendmail, Inc. While at Sendmail in 2000, a colleague introduced him to Erlang. His world hasn't been the same since. In addition to writing Erlang and occasionally C for the Erlang virtual machine, he has had papers published by USENIX, the Erlang User Conference, and the ACM and has given presentations at Erlang Factory, Code BEAM, and Ricon. Scott works at Wallaroo Labs on a polyglot distributed system of Pony, Python, and C.
