MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels for secure and high-performing applications. Most Robur projects are designed to be compatible with MirageOS, as well as native operating systems, like Linux or FreeBSD. We work closely with the MirageOS community to help develop its ecosystem and increase the availability of secure applications offered within it.

### rand
rand fell in love with OCaml and functional programming since university, where he studied philosophy and computer science on a humanistic/technological BSc. He especially likes solving problems in elegant and interesting new ways. Been part of the Functional Copenhageners meetup for a range of years - where he's also held several talks.
He's worked fullstack with with OCaml and Scala since university - working on a varied set of things like entity clustering, entity merging, custom data visualizations, service oriented architecture, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, natural language parsing, Linux, server management.
Spends much of his time with his daughter and doing experimental art with his video synthesizer `niseq`, of course written using pure FRP in OCaml (:

### Stefanie ### Joe
Stefanie is an infrastructure software engineer and a researcher. Joe is an independent IT consultant located in Copenhagen.
She studied Applied Computer Science in the Natural Sciences, and developed a typechecker for a compiler of a language for optimization problems. In her PhD project she developed metrics to compare forest data structures, with an application in molecular structure comparison. Working as a postdoc in cancer research on molecular structure prediction, she found her way to Brooklyn and Berlin. Joe has a background in penetration testing, protocol design, applied cryptography, and architectural IT security system design for customers, especially in the banking, insurance, and pension fund sectors. He has been consulting on BPAY integration in Australia, and conducting web and network security assessments for customers throughout the world.
In the US tech industry, she works on infrastructure problems with distributed systems at a large scale with millions of users, developing API infrastructure and search infrastructure, with a focus on stateless systems. Lately he has spent the last couple of years writing OCaml and has been working with IT security, dev-ops and automated deployment for customers specializing in Enterprise Resource Planning, Internet of Things, and medical technology.
Her Erdős number is 4. In his spare time he dabbles in research into similar topics and serialization frameworks, in addition to the enjoyable pursuit of tabletop roleplaying and social interactions in smoky pubs - two disciplines that he excels in, but that have somehow not been of particular interest to paying customers (yet).

[MirageOS](https://mirageos.org) is an operating system, developed in OCaml, which produces unikernels. A unikernel serves a single purpose and is a single process, i.e. only has the really needed dependencies. For example, an OpenVPN endpoint does neither include persistent storage (block device, file system) nor user management. MirageOS unikernels are developed in [OCaml](https://ocaml.org), a statically typed and type-safe programming language - which avoids common pitfalls from the grounds up (spatial and temporal memory safety issues).
