Taken as a set of technologies, this resulted in global deployment of downloadable Web fonts moving from 0% (2010 and earlier) to 87% of the top 10 million web sites (2024). In April 2022 I was honoured to accept this <a href="https://theemmys.tv/tech-73rd-award-recipients/">Technical Emmy award</a> on behalf of the W3C WebFonts Working Group, for Standardization of Font Technology for Custom Downloadable Fonts and Typography for Web and TV Devices. </section> <section id="speaking"> <h1>Speaking</h1> I have given over 80 talks in twenty countries over the last 25 years, and have spoken at some of the most prominent international web development conferences, including giving opening keynote addresses.
