Nate Koechley

Technical Evangelist for Yahoo!

Nate is a member of the YUI Library team, and an editor of the Yahoo! User Interface Blog. He was one of the first web developers at Yahoo!, and has been instrumental in creating and defining the practice of Web Development and Front-end Engineering. Through evolving roles as developer, manager, and evangelist on both the development and user experience and design sides of the company, Nate has championed modern standards-based web development, a commitment to accessibility, code and pattern library creation, and open-source and blogging initiatives. Through it all, Nate focuses on the intersection and coordination of design and development, helping teams understand “why” in addition to “how”.

Nate speaks worldwide about the intersections of Design and Technology, and blogs occasionally at http://nate.koechley.com/blog/.
