Android Moderators
Filip Babić is a professional developer with extensive knowledge of Android, Kotlin, and Java. Developing since 2015, he’s amassed a great deal of experience and finished projects using only best practices, building high-quality products. Filip is a huge Kotlin lover and preacher, mostly focusing on Kotlin Coroutines and other low-level concurrency mechanisms. When not coding, filip is gaming, writing about coding, or speaking about coding at various events, meetups, and conferences. He’s also a dungeon master in his spare time.
Kevin Moore really enjoys developing Android and iOS applications and in his spare time to create apps that I freely share. He been programming on the Android platform for over 8 years and iOS for a year. He has a course on Kotlin on raywenderlich.com and has done talks at conferences.
Joey deVilla landed his first programming job in the ’90s with a HyperCard (remember that?) resume and by going out for beer with the managers of the company where he wanted to work until they caved and hired him. Since then, he’s worked at a San Francisco startup during the dot-com bubble, done tech evangelism for Tucows, Microsoft, and Shopify, valiantly tried to make Windows Phone happen, and once had a very short stint as an accordion-playing go-go dancer at a Toronto nightclub. Joey lives, works, and engages in nincompoopery in Tampa, Florida, where he runs Tampa iOS Meetup (and helps out at the Android and Xamarin Meetups, too!), plays unlikely rock and pop tunes on his accordion, and generally does what he can to avoid becoming a “Florida Man” news story.
