Pioneering Language Designer and Kotlin Development Leader
Andrey Breslav has served as the lead designer and developer of the Kotlin Programming Language at JetBrains since the project's inception in 2010. His career began at Borland, where he worked on language implementations for MDA support, before joining JetBrains to spearhead Project Kotlin. Under his leadership, Kotlin has evolved from an internal JetBrains project to a widely-adopted programming language, particularly after becoming Google's officially supported language for Android development in 2017. His vision for Kotlin focused on creating a 100% Java-compatible language that would be safer, more concise, and more flexible than Java, while maintaining practicality. As a member of the Java Community Process Expert Group for JSR 335 "Project Lambda," he has contributed significantly to the broader programming language community. Breslav regularly shares his expertise at major software conferences including OSCON, JavaOne, Strange Loop, and Devoxx, while actively contributing to the Kotlin blog and leading the language's ongoing development and evolution.
Distinguished Kotlin Developer Advocate and Technical Author
Svetlana Isakova has established herself as a leading expert in Kotlin development through her work at JetBrains, where she contributed to the development of the Kotlin programming language. She has co-authored two influential books in the field: 'Kotlin in Action' and 'AtomicKotlin,' which have become essential resources for developers transitioning to Kotlin. As a Developer Advocate at JetBrains, she dedicates her time to educating developers about Kotlin through conference presentations, workshops, and technical training worldwide. Her expertise is particularly evident in her role as an instructor for the "Kotlin for Java Developers" course on Coursera, where she teaches advanced concepts including coroutines, functional programming, and Kotlin-specific features. Her contributions to the Kotlin community extend beyond writing and teaching to include speaking engagements at major technology conferences, where she shares insights about Kotlin development and best practices.
