== about ==
I’ve been participating in web [[standards ]] for over twenty years, beginning with leading the implementation of the Tasman rendering engine in Internet Explorer 5 for Macintosh.
I’ve written and edited many [[Cascading Style Sheets]] specifications (CSS 2.1 & many CSS3 modules), but also co-invented [[microformats]], drove key features of [[vCard4]] in the [[IETF]], and been part of HTML5 and the HTML Living Standard work at [[WHATWG]] (authoring one of the first books and video tutorials on HTML5).
I have served on am an elected member of the W3C Advisory Board 2013(2020-2018present), helping drive a vision for a W3C based on shared values and community self-governance. During my previous tenure (2013-2018) I drove more openness and transparency in the processes of W3C as well as more liberal licensing of W3C standards.
I am particularly passionate about and actively involved in the [[IndieWeb]] movement -- standards, events, and community -- which you should definitely ask me about.
I hold Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Computer Science from Stanford, and 16 patents. I enjoy trail running, yoga, and bouldering. You can find out lots more about me and see active examples of my work on my blog at https://tantek.com/.
