Being an old-time messaging developer with IRC, PSYC and XMPP experience, I tinkered with Adobe Flash and web-based VoIP back in its time.

One day in 2012 I had to to choose between LinPhone and WebRTC as the technical foundation for a new product. WebRTC, combined with XMPP for signaling ended up being the right choice. That is how I ended up reverse-engineering how Hangouts was going to be implemented with WebRTC.

When not writing long reports on how various services use WebRTC, I am working on Talky for &yet and try to keep browser vendors from breaking my WebRTC application.

In my spare time I contribute to adapter.js and the WebRTC Javascript samples. And tweet about webrtc things as @hcornflower.
