Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Meyer is a Developer Advocate and web-standards expert with 11 years of professional experience who has helped shape modern CSS practice through authoring multiple definitive books and co-founding influential initiatives like An Event Apart and GMPG. He led early W3C CSS test-suite efforts, worked as a standards evangelist at Netscape, and today contributes technical content to MDN Web Docs while advising organizations through his consulting practice on standards-oriented design and site optimization. A prolific trainer and speaker, he’s delivered bespoke courses for major enterprises and guided editorial and product strategy for conferences and developer sites. Off the beaten path, he once hosted a vintage-music radio show and — per his GitHub bio — describes himself wryly as an “armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist,” a glimpse of the curious, eclectic perspective he brings to engineering and design.
