Work Experience

Technical writer

Sep 2018 - Current

I write succinct compelling stories about performance optimizations for web.dev. They range from conceptual guides about web performance to tooling tutorials. I read and write code on a daily basis and I've published several codelabs. I work with the engineering team, developer relations, and senior writers to ensure my writing is accurate, relevant, and clear.

Projects

Technical writing

Sep 2017 - Current

I'm a contributor to Mozilla Hacks and LogRocket blog. My first article about script loading was on the front page of Hacker News and it got the “Best of” badge on Pocket reading app. The article about WebAssembly has around 50K views and 2.4K "claps" on Medium so far. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I used my design skills to create and animate the graphics for these articles.

Public speaking

Nov 2018 - Current

I love the web and I want to make it a better place, faster and more accessible for everyone. Speaking at conferences is a part of that mission. I'm a Mozilla Tech Speaker and currently, my main focus is WebAssembly. I enjoy meeting new people and I always use the chance to chat about things I'm working on so I can write more informed and better-targeted articles.
