Our first episode with a guest! Jon and Trevan are joined by Zach Leatherman, a front-end engineer at Filament Group interested in responsive web design and JavaScript. He currently works for The Filament Group, where they attempt to make the web work for everyone. Previously, he was a UI Architect for Union Pacific Railroad. He also herds NebraskaJS.

Zach Leatherman is a builder for the web at Font Awesome and the creator of Build Awesome (née Eleventy/11ty), an award-winning open source website generator. He measures website performance with speedlify and at one point became too fixated on web fonts. He has given 86 talks in nine different countries at events like Beyond Tellerrand, State of the Browser, Smashing Conference, Jamstack Conf, CSSConf, and The White House. Learn more about Zach »
