Contact
Let’s talk frontend, full stack, and everything in between. Whether you’re reaching out about a collaboration, a speaking engagement, a book, or you just want to argue about web performance and UI architecture, I’d like to hear from you.
Ways to reach me
- contact@denodell.comThe best route for anything that needs a considered reply: speaking invitations, book and press enquiries, consulting, technical review, and collaboration.
- LinkedInProfessional enquiries and work history. Connection requests with a short note about why you’re reaching out are always read.
- GitHubBug reports, pull requests, and questions about open source projects, including playwright-soak-test. Issues on the relevant repository beat email for anything code-related.
- BlueskyShort questions, article replies, and general conversation about frontend engineering.
- MastodonAs above, for anyone who prefers the fediverse.
Speaking
I speak at conferences and internal engineering events on web performance, accessibility, frontend architecture, and the practice of building software that stays fast as teams grow. Recent and upcoming appearances are listed on the homepage. If you’re organising an event, email me with the date, format, audience size, and the topic you have in mind, and I’ll come back to you.
Press and citation
Quoting an article, citing one of the books, or writing about the Fast by Default methodology? Everything published here may be quoted with attribution and a link to the canonical URL. Full biography and work history are on the about page, and a full-resolution photograph is available on request. For anything about the book itself, fastbydefault.com is the dedicated site.
Response times
This is a personal site, not a company inbox, and I answer mail myself around a full-time job. Expect a reply within a week or so. If something is time-sensitive, say so in the subject line. Recruiter mail is welcome, but please include the role, the company, the location, and whether it’s remote before anything else.
Just saying hi?
That’s welcome too. If a post here changed how you approached a problem, or you disagree with something I’ve written, tell me. Some of the best conversations I’ve had started that way.
