Jake Archibald

JAKE ARCHIBALD spent 4 years working at the BBC writing low level JavaScript that catered to their strict accessibility and browser support requirements. He authored and maintained the corporation’s Standards and Guidelines on JavaScript, and sat on their working groups for accessibility, markup, and download performance.

After the BBC, Jake moved to creative agency theTeam to work more on the visual side of the web; and then onto Lanyrd, where he's working on all things front-end.

Jake recently released spritecow.com, which uses modern clientside technologies to process spritesheets. Outside of the web, Jake is a keen photographer and motorsport fan.
