Dmitry Jemerov
Nice to meet you!
I'm Dmitry Jemerov, a software developer originally from St.Petersburg, Russia, now living in Munich, Germany.
I've spent most of my career working at JetBrains. I started as the lead developer of Omea, a now-defunct information management tool built with .NET. Then I moved to work on IntelliJ IDEA and IntelliJ Platform-based IDEs. Among other things, I was the original creator and lead developer of PyCharm.
I also spent a year at Google, working on Cloud Source Repositories, Cloud Debugger and other projects related to developer tooling on Google Cloud Platform.
Right now I'm working on Kotlin, a new programming language that JetBrains is building. I'm leading the team working on the IntelliJ IDEA plugin for Kotlin, as well as co-writing a book, Kotlin in Action.
Some of my personal projects include:
- Infinity Explorer (2000), a data viewer for Infinity Engine-based games;
- Syndirella (2003), a Windows RSS reader;
- Structorian (2009), a flexible viewer for structured binary data;
- rock-chords.ru (2014), a collection of chords and tabs for Russian rock music.

Some of my interviews and conference presentations might be worth watching. Here's a few videos:
- From Renamer Plugin to Polyglot IDE (2013, English) - covers the history and the development process of IntelliJ IDEA;
- No Slides (2015, Russian) - a large interview covering my work at JetBrains and at Google.
