Bio:

I created Flow, a type checker for JavaScript based on flow analysis whose distinguishing characteristics include mostly-automatic type checking for several common JavaScript idioms via advanced type inference, and near-instantaneous response times via aggressive modularization and parallelization. My current work involves leading the development of Flow at Facebook.

I briefly served as a member of ECMA TC39, the de-facto JavaScript design committee. During that time, I explored the design of features such as shared-memory concurrency control, and the implementation of advanced compilation techniques such as profile-guided type inference, in the context of JavaScript.

While at Adobe, I led the design of ActionScript 4, a significant re-implementation of the source and bytecode languages underlying Flash to target high-performance gaming. I drove research on future versions of ActionScript, including features such as generics and transactions.
