About the Author: Mat “Wilto” Marquis

Mat “Wilto” Marquis thumbnail

Apart from my professional activities, I am a former amateur boxer, a decent cook, a passable carpenter, a clumsy mechanic of vintage British motorcycles, an urban beekeeper, and an occasional zine editor. In short, there's never a dull moment.

I've been developing websites for almost twenty years, working with clients such as Microsoft, ProPublica, Axios, and the Boston Globe. My specialization is frontend accessibility and performance. I strive to create a web that can function effectively for users under any conditions: regardless of screen size, connection speed, device age, or combination of browsers and assistive technologies.

Previously, I was part of the jQuery team, an editor of the HTML specification, wrote several books for A Book Apart, and spoke at conferences like An Event Apart, Smashing Conference, and others. I even appeared in the film “What Comes Next is the Future” where I talked about my work as the leader of the group that created scalable graphics specifications for the web platform. I even have a page on IMDb.

As for the other listing there... it's best not to mention it. It's a long story.
