# Hello
I'm Yoav!
I've been working on mobile web performance for over 2 decades now, which means that a) I'm old and b) I really wish we'd have solved it by now.
These days I'm working at Shopify on improving the web platform and making it the best platform for online commerce. Other than that, I co-chair the Web Performance Working Group and the Web Incubator Community Group at the W3C, and I act as a Blink API owner in the Chromium project.
If you're interested in words to copy/paste about me, there are a few of them below.
# Bio
Yoav Weiss has been working on mobile web performance for longer than he cares to admit, on the server side as well as in browsers.
He now works at Shopify, bringing the web platform to where online commerce needs it to be. He also co-chairs the Web Performance Working Group and the Web Incubator Community Group at the W3C, to make sure the web is as fast as it can be, and full of new ideas.
Yoav takes image bloat on the web as a personal insult, which is why he joined the Responsive Images Community Group and implemented the various responsive images features in Blink and WebKit. That was his gateway drug into the wonderfully complex world of browsers and standards.
When he’s not writing code, he’s probably wandering the Alps, mowing the lawn, or playing board games with his family.
