Who is Parnell?

My name is Parnell Springmeyer. This website is my long-form, written interface with the internet, serving as my platform to refine the craft of writing and articulate my developing ideas.

I'm a software engineer and engineering leader. My approach to building modern software centers on functional languages with strong, static types—a methodology proven through a decade of production Haskell, Erlang, and Nix development. I am convinced: superior software emerges from type systems, formal methods (especially formal specification), and mathematical rigor.

I've worked on startups and enterprise software products for close to 19 years in a mixture of deeply focused IC roles, management, and leadership roles. Currently I work for Arista as a Director of Engineering for the NDR product line.

Personally, I like to spend my time:
