Jeff Pennal

A long-time web application development pro and JetBrains HQ defector, Jeff Pennal is currently hiding out in the "nicest and wettest" part of Canada—Vancouver. His work day, at a local consultancy, is divided 50/50 between Java (using IntelliJ IDEA of course) and a .NET Intranet/Wiki product (www.thoughtfarmer.com), which makes heavy use of ReSharper.

Jeff has spoken at JavaOne, worked as the JetBrains representative at DevTeach (Canada's biggest developer conference), and even started and maintained a moderately successful Struts extension called stxx (now defunct). His dream, besides winning gold in Hockey at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games, is to help ReSharper become as good a platform for web development as it is for general .NET development.
