Hello.

I am Paul Kinlan.

A Developer Advocate for Chrome and the Open Web at Google.

I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.

Hiring: Chrome Privacy Sandbox Developer Advocate

This role will focus on advocating for cross-browser privacy solutions, working with external developers, and ensuring our internal teams prioritize user and developer needs. This will involve explaining potentially disruptive changes (like the SameSite cookie attribute update) and helping developers adapt.

My first year in Google

Paul Kinlan

My first year at Google has been an incredible journey. It's been a whirlwind of experiences, from joining the company after selling my Twitter web-app to working alongside industry experts like Chris Messina and Tim Bray. I started as a Developer Programs Engineer for iGoogle and Google Chrome in London, and later transitioned to a Developer Advocate role. My first month at the Mountain View campus was an intense learning experience. I've traveled extensively, presented at various events (including Google Developer Days in Munich, Moscow, and Prague), and contributed to the launch of the Chrome Web Store. I'm excited to see what the future holds, including speaking at Google IO and working with more developers outside of London.
