Michalina Ziemba¶

Michalina has over eight years of experience working with medium to large software companies and currently leads an Information Experience team at Atlassian.

She has studied anthropology in university and focused on online communication between people from different language backgrounds. In her spare time she likes to write stories and learn languages. She also loves to sing, though she is extremely bad at it.

Samuel Wright¶

Sam has been organizing Write the Docs conferences for even more than a few years now. He lives in Berlin unless he’s off to a conference or death metal festival somewhere. Sam works at EngFlow, and is into making computers do the boring bits of writing docs so he can work on the fun bits.
