Self-confessed Web Craftsman! Started at Labs in Oct 2011, helped with PDF.js and prototyped the first runtime for Mozilla Apps on Android. Moved slowly into being tech-lead for Partner Engineering where we work closely with business development to get brands from all over the world to submit their apps to Firefox Marketplace. We hold hands, encourage, identify and drive bugs, prototype APIs, make manifests and get teams to implement the bleeding edge features that make the platform awesome. We manage tasks in Trello and huddle in Skype (with BD). I am active in #webapps, #apps-reviewers, dev-webapps, dev-gaia and idle on #b2g, #gaia, #devtools and #devecosystem.

Recently became tech-lead for Firefox OS. Previously tech-lead for WebAPI, which is our effort to add missing APIs to the web (including web apps) to make it competitive with other app platforms. Still involved with a lot of API work, but trying to focus on setting technical direction for Firefox OS.
