About the Technical Reviewer

Stefan Turalski is just another coder who is perfectly happy delivering pragmatic, not necessarily software, solutions and climbing the impassable learning curve.
He has more than a decade of experience building solutions in such diverse domains as knowledge management, embedded networking, healthcare, power and gas trading, and, in the last few years, finance.
Focusing on code optimization and systems integration, he has dabbled (or almost drowned) in quite a few programming languages and has abused a number of open source and commercial software frameworks, libraries, servers, and so on.
Stefan is currently working on a highly scalable, low-latency, intraday risk valuation system at a financial institution in London. His latest interests revolve around functional and reactive programming, F#, Clojure, Python, OpenCL, and WebGL.
He still cannot believe that he was trusted enough to help on the second edition of Magnus Lie Hetland’s superb book. Stefan hopes that his (and your) brain cells injured while studying the algorithmic problems covered by the author will recover stronger and wiser!
