Lloyd Tabb | Language Designer | Google
Lloyd Tabb spent the last 30 years revolutionizing how the world uses the internet and, by extension, data. Originally a database & languages architect at Borland, Lloyd founded Looker,, which Google acquired in 2019. Lloyd's work at Looker helped define the Modern Data Stack. At Google, Lloyd continues to pursue his passion for data, and love of programming languages through his current project, Malloy -- a new open source experimental programming language that aims to reinvent how programmers describe data relationships and transformations. Before Looker, Lloyd was one of the internet pioneers, working at Netscape during the browser wars as the Principal Engineer on Navigator Gold, the first HTML WYSIWYG editor. During his five-year tenure at Netscape, he was the technical lead on several releases of Netscape's flagship product, the Netscape Web Browser. Lloyd was also an early founder and heavily involved in defining Mozilla.org. In 2003, Lloyd was the CTO of LiveOps, one of the very first gig-economy companies. Lloyd also co-founded Readyforce and Luminate.
