About Me

I’m Alex Russell, and I fight IE 6 so you don’t have to.

These days I’m a software engineer at Google working on Chrome Frame and the broader web platform. I help represent Google at TC39, the committee standardizing ECMAScript, nee “JavaScript”.

Previously, I was Director of R&D at SitePen and built rich UIs for JotSpot and Informatica where I helped build Dojo. I continue to serve on the board of the Dojo Foundation.

You can usually get ahold of me in the Dojo or Chromium IRC channels where my nick is slightlyoff. If it’s important, you can mail me at alex at dojotoolkit.org or slightlyoff at chromium.org.
