Trisha Gee is a Java Champion, author, and internationally recognised speaker who has spent over 20 years building software and helping developers build it better. From high-performance financial systems to developer tools, she brings hands-on experience and a clear, practical perspective on what actually makes teams effective, and how engineering organisations build better software.
She is the co-author of Head First Java and author of Getting to Know IntelliJ IDEA, and her talks, articles, and videos are widely used by developers to navigate complex topics and improve how they work. Through the Modern Software Engineering YouTube channel and conference speaking, she focuses on developer productivity, proven engineering practices, and the role of human judgment in an increasingly AI-assisted world.
Trisha got her start in developer communities, founding and supporting user groups and engaging directly with developers. She continues to champion community-led learning, inclusive practices, and the idea that great software comes from people — not just tools.
