Knut Sveidqvist

Knut Sveidqvist

Knut Sveidqvist has been in the software industry for over 20 years in roles spanning all the way from architecture to development through product ownership and managing development teams. A common theme in all these roles is the need for good documentation. This inspired Knut to create Mermaid and start the Mermaid open source project. The main goal with the project was and still is to make it more fun and efficient to write technical documentation. Ever since Knut created Mermaid, he has continued to work with the project and has a wealth of knowledge about Mermaid that he now wants to share with the developer community.

Jain

Ashish Jain has more than 8 years of experience as a technical lead and developer with a bachelor's degree in information technology. He started as a Java backend developer then moved to full-stack development. Within these roles, he worked on project documentation and other documented deliverables, where the need to have a simpler way to draw and integrate diagrams in documents was felt. His search ended with Mermaid, which impressed him enough to see him associate himself with the Mermaid project. He is an open source contributor and a part of the Mermaid core team.
