Rowan is a Developer Advocate at Google which means he takes shiny, new technology and finds ways to prove its value out in the real world. Aside from the obligatory exposure to BASIC as a child, the web has always been his natural home for coding. From early Perl-based guestbooks, through Python CMS integrations, onto PHP in more places than seems healthy. Come find him to chat about Progressive Web Apps, Accelerated Mobile Pages, or Firebase.
