Kat Momoi is an internationalization and web-standards expert with over two decades of experience helping browsers and web apps go global, including 7.5 years at Netscape/AOL and a long tenure as a Staff Test Engineer/I18n Consultant at Google. She combines hands-on technical skills—JS testing, DOM/CSS/HTML/XHTML debugging, Unix administration and scripting—with deep linguistic knowledge and fluency in Japanese, plus reading ability in Chinese and French. Kat has led in-country technical evangelism and managed local teams for Japan and China, run press tours and technical marketing, and authored specifications, test plans and developer training on I18n/L10n. A longtime standards advocate, she has driven adoption of HTML/CSS/XML/DOM and mail protocol compliance across products while mentoring engineers on globalization best practices. Notably, her background in theoretical linguistics informs pragmatic solutions for script and language edge cases that often derail localization efforts.
