Daniel Goldberg is a seasoned software engineer and standards expert with 21 years of experience shaping core web technologies, particularly JavaScript/ECMAScript and WebAssembly. He has driven language and platform-level change through hands-on specification work and leadership roles at Ecma International (including President and Vice President) and contributions to high-profile projects like the WebAssembly spec and TC39 proposals. His background spans kernel and firmware work at Google, developer-facing platform improvements at Bloomberg, and specialist standards and implementation work at Igalia and ETSI, giving him rare depth across systems, runtime, and web API boundaries. Daniel pairs rigorous specification authorship and test-suite development with practical engineering—implementing APIs, build/deployment tooling, and conformance tests—so his work influences both drafts and real-world implementations. Based in Catalonia, he brings a pragmatic, cross-disciplinary perspective that connects formal standards to developer experience and browser/runtime behavior. An active open-source maintainer, he subtly blends formal semantics work with everyday engineering to ensure web features are both spec-correct and usable.
