A decade is a long time for anyone to have been doing anything on the Internet. But for the last 10 years I have been working in the field of Web Performance Measurement and Management, helping companies strive to deliver the best online experience possible.

I am currently a Senior Consultant at Gomez, Inc, with a goal to deliver relevant Web performance solutions to all customers, in the areas of:

• Custom report scoping and development
• Detailed performance analysis
• Measurement methodology audits
• External load test design and delivery
• Web performance education and evangelism

How have I delivered on my promise of helping the Web improve one packet at a time?

• Designed, created, and maintained a technical training program to help customers, partners, and employees turn large amounts of Web performance data into useful information
• Analyzed the performance of content-delivery networks (CDNs) to allow customers to make intelligent decisions about international deployments and infrastructure expenditures
• Guided customers in the creation of meaningful Web performance methodologies that helped their organizations manage their data delivery and user experience more effectively

In my free moments I manage the free-to-all GrabPERF Performance Monitoring System and provide commentary on today’s wired and unwired world on my blog, Newest Industry (but you’re reading this, so I suppose you already knew that).

I live in Massachusetts with my wife and two sons. But I have never forgotten my western roots in Alberta, British Columbia, and California.

The views expressed in this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of any former, current or future employers or employees of mine. I also apologize for the curse on the Red Sox, the failure of the Canucks to win the Stanley Cup, and the weeds in your garden.
