Past Roles

I joined W3C in 2000 at the Japanese host of the consortium, and acted over the years as:

• Product manager, community manager and lead developer for the W3C open-source services such as Validators and other Quality Tools,
• Participant in W3C's Quality Assurance activity with a focus on Education and Outreach; co-chair of the QA Interest Group
• Editor of the Common HTTP Implementation Problems (CHIPs) W3C Technical Report, lecturer on Web Architecture at Keio University in Japan,
• Creator, maintainer and at times writer of the W3C blog,
• Systems developer, creator and maintainer of W3C's mailing-list search service

What now?

As of 2011, I am back in the W3C community as representative for the BBC and co-chair of the W3C Audio Working Group, among others. I am not, however, employed by the W3C nor representing the consortium in any way.
