Alex Russell is a Partner Product Architect at Microsoft Edge and Blink API OWNER who spent 13 years at Google shaping the modern web. He co-created Dojo Toolkit, coined the term 'Progressive Web Apps' alongside Frances Berriman in 2015, and led the delivery of Service Workers, Web Components, ES6 Promises and Classes, Push Notifications, and Project Fugu. A three-time elected member of the W3C Technical Architecture Group and decade-long TC39 representative, Russell writes the newsletter 'Infrequently Noted' where he advocates relentlessly for a fast, open, and equitable web - especially for the billions on budget Android devices that the developer community tends to forget.
Paul Kinlan is the Lead for Chrome and Web Platform Developer Relations at Google, where he has spent over 16 years championing the open web. From growing up watching his dad repair computers on the Wirral in North West England, to launching Google Web Fundamentals, killing the 300ms click delay, and shepherding tools like Lighthouse, Squoosh, and Workbox into developers' hands, Kinlan has been the web's tireless advocate inside one of its most influential companies. Now he is turning his lens toward AI's impact on the web through his newsletter and blog AI Focus.
