Richard Marmorstein in an engineer/team lead at Vimeo in NYC, and writes PureScript for pleasure, but like most of us, unfortunately not for work. Checkout his blog: http://twitchard.github.io/ Richard will be speaking about:

1. The delights and struggles of using Purescript as a relative newcomer to functional programming.
2. The Alexa Skills API and how it works.
3. His amazing skill "secret word" and the library he wrote to power it "purescript-alexa".
