a software developer at JetBrains, working on coroutine support in the Kotlin compiler since 2017. Was responsible for stabilization and implementation of the coroutines design. Since then, he has moved to other features, namely inline classes. Currently, his work with coroutines is limited to bug fixing and optimization, since coroutines as a language feature is complete and stable and does not require much attention.
an Android developer at Avast. She started her career teaching Java classes at Prague City University, before moving on to mobile development, which inevitably led to Kotlin and her love thereof.
a Google Developer Expert for Kotlin. He has been working with the language since before version 1.0, and he is the maintainer of several open-source libraries and tools for mobile developers (Detekt, Chucker, AppIntro). He's currently working in the React Native core team at Meta, building one of the most popular cross-platform mobile frameworks. Furthermore, he is an active member of the developer community. His involvement goes from speaking at international conferences to being a member of CFP committees and supporting developer communities across Europe. In his free time, he also loves baking, podcasting, and running.
an experienced developer and an early adopter of Kotlin and coroutines, using both in production before they became stable. Worked in the European space industry for several years.
a Developer Advocate at Google. With a decade of experience at Twilio and other San Francisco startups, he is an expert at building apps that scale. Sean is passionate about using great tooling to build high-quality apps quickly. When he is not working on Android, you can find him fiddling on the piano or crocheting hats.
