In my series "Career Paths", I am interviewing interesting people out of the technology industry to highlight their backgrounds, how they came into the sector, what they are passionate about – well, their career paths!

In today's episode, I am talking to Sebastian Aigner, Developer Advocate for Kotlin and Kotlin/JS at JetBrains in Munich. He graduated in 2019 from the Technical University Munich and started his current position in that same year, making him a pretty young developer advocate comparatively.
Nevertheless, he pours his heart and soul into bringing Kotlin as a programming language closer to developers and expanding its use to more than just Android development. Additionally, he produces many videos for the official Kotlin YouTube channel (   / @kotlin  ) and co-hosts the "Talking Kotlin" podcast together with Hadi Hariri.

Find out all about Sebastian as a person and his career path in today's episode!
