About the Author
Jobin Kuruvilla is an Atlassian Consultant with experience in customizing JIRA and writing
JIRA plugins for various customers. He is currently working with Go2Group as an Atlassian
platinum expert, and is involved in managing Atlassian products for big enterprises as well as
small starter license installations.
Jobin is the author of JIRA Development Cookbook, Packt Publishing, released in 2011,
which is a well-received book in the JIRA community. He also runs a website named
J-Tricks (
http://www.j-tricks.com), using which he shares numerous tutorials
to help the developer community, who he believes have contributed immensely to his
personal development. It is indeed those tutorials that sowed the rst seeds of JIRA
Development Cookbook.
Jobin started his career as a Java/J2EE developer in one of the biggest IT companies in
India. After spending his initial years in the SOA world, he got hooked into this amazing
product called JIRA, which he came across during the evaluation of a number of third-party
tools. Soon, Jobin realized the power of JIRA, and pledged to spread the word. He has been
doing it ever since, and he reckons there is a long way to go!
