Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Colin Bendell is part of Akamai's CTO Office, where he focuses on web performance. He speaks to global audiences about images, mobile, and web development while also trying to imagine six impossible things before breakfast. Colin has a Masters degree in Business and has worked in a variety of industries, including roles in software development for real estate to managing the Infrastructure and Operations for Cameco, the worlds largest uranium mining company. He is also an accomplished entrepreneur and former owner of KelvinsWheel, an automotive wheel repair shop.

Along with Katie Kovalcin, he also co-hosts The Path to Performance Podcast. Yoav Weiss has been working on mobile web performance for longer than he cares to admit. He takes image bloat on the web as a personal insult, which is why he joined the Responsive Image Community Group and implemented the various responsive images features in Blink and WebKit. Yoav is now working at Akamai as a Principal Architect, focused on making the web platform faster by adding performance-related features to browsers, as well as working on server-side optimizations. When he's not writing code, Yoav is probably slapping his bass, mowing the lawn in the French countryside, or playing board games with his family.
