After ~14 years working on Chrome, it's time for a new chapter.
When I joined the @googlechrome team, I walked into a group that believed the web could be fast, simple, safe, and a joy to build on. I still believe that today, and I am continually in awe of what the team and the broader web community do every day. My last day with Chrome will be today. After that, I am excited to be moving into a new role at Google. More on that soon.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to work with many teams across Chrome on new APIs, performance, DevTools, benchmarks, extensions, automation, and the broader evolution of the web platform. From Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse, to @ChromeDevTools and CDP, to efforts like Speedometer, Interop, Baseline, PWAs, AI, and our collaborations with frameworks and platforms, the constant has been the same: make the web faster, more reliable, and easier to build on.
What I will remember most is not any single launch, but the way this team builds. Listening to users and developers. Measuring. Sweating the details. Making hard calls with empathy. Taking the long view while still shipping with urgency. That culture is the reason Chrome has had the impact it has on the ecosystem.
To everyone in the @ChromiumDev and web community I have had the chance to work with: thank you. Thank you for the trust, the feedback, the late nights, the careful reviews, and the countless ways you pushed the platform and its tooling forward. It has been a privilege to learn from you and to build alongside you.
I will still be cheering for Chrome and for the open web. If we have worked together or share an interest in the future of the web, AI, and developer experience, I would love to stay in touch as this next chapter begins.
