What’s All This Then?
I'm Alex Russell, a web developer working on Chrome, Blink, and the Web Platform at Google. I'm guilty of many JavaScript transgressions.
I help lead the team building a new application model for the web, and serve on ECMA TC39 (the standards body for JavaScript). I'm an elected member of the W3C Technical Architecture Group and am Tech Lead for Standards inside the Chrome team. I design and advocate for extensible, layered, data-driven evolution of the web platform.

Other facets available upon HTTP request: twitter, facebook, flickr, linkedin, lanyrd, and quora. Expect less self-restraint there.
I'm proud husband to Frances Berriman. We live and work in San Francsico.
