Russell started his first Kotlin Multiplatform project the day after it was possible to share code between JVM and Kotlin/Native. He is the author and maintainer of Multiplatform Settings, a key-value storage library which was one of the earliest mobile multiplatform libraries available. Now a part of Touchlab and with over four years of kotlin multiplatform experience in both apps and libraries, he loves finding new ways to connect with the community and help people use this technology.
