At Instil we use JetBrains Space as the primary mechanism for coaching developers during virtual training. Space provides integrated support for managing projects, repositories, documents and discussions. To ensure privacy we create a dedicated instance for each training delivery, which initially led to a lot of manual configuration. We have addressed this by using Kotlin, Spring Boot and the Space HTTP API to automatically configure instances. This talk will walk you through some of the code we created. In addition to the Space API we will be covering OAuth, Spring WebFlux, Functional Patterns and Reactive Design.

In the beginning I mostly taught C++ to C coders, then Java to C++ coders, then C# to Java coders and eventually JavaScript to everyone. These days I specialise in server-side coding using Kotlin / Spring Boot and client slide coding using TypeScript / Angular. The majority of my time is spent designing and delivering induction and retraining programs for groups of developers. I do this both locally and internationally, and also mentor new trainers in doing the same.
I am a prolific contributor to, and organiser of, conferences and user groups. I have participated in ACCU, GOTO, KotlinConf, RebelCon, NIDevConf, Functional Kats etc... and am a co-organiser of the Belfast BASH and Kotlin Users Group. Outside of work I am a martial arts instructor, with certifications in multiple systems, teaching at both children's and adult classes and delivering specialist seminars.
