The desk

Bree Callahan

Bree treats Largest Contentful Paint metrics like high-stakes arcade scores, preaching byte hygiene to weary frontend devs. She writes our web integration column, forever hunting the extra four kilobytes standing between you and a green Lighthouse score.

Maliah Jennings

Maliah spends her weeks coaxing CTOs to admit how much bandwidth their marketing teams waste on unoptimized PNGs. Her executive interview series unpacks the real dollar cost of enterprise image bloat.

Dr. Aris Lyberopoulos

Aris holds a doctorate in color science and spends his weekends squinting at 800% zoom crops to catch subtle ringing artifacts. His column demystifies psychovisual metrics like VMAF and SSIM without making your eyes glaze over.

Keisha Fairbairn

Keisha harbors a deep nostalgia for progressive JPEGs from 1997 and a sharp critique for modern specs that abandon backwards compatibility. She writes our digital preservation column, helping legacy media libraries transition into modern compression formats.

Vespera Almonte

Vespera practically lives in the issue trackers of browser engine teams so you do not have to. Her industry analysis column tracks web consortium politics, browser codec adoption, and open-source compression standards.

Tarek Al-Masri

Tarek maintains that the best compression algorithm is the one the viewer never notices, and that visible blocking artifacts are a design failure. His opinion column balances the cold math of payload reduction with the artistic integrity of digital imagery.
