How to use et.al (special case)?

I'm writing about a javascript library. and i have the following example:

"The founder of this JavaScript library, Jason M. Saragih, wrote an article [1] with et. al, reviewing considerations on how to accelerate their approach."

I can see that this doesn't look right. How to best use the et.al in this case?

Notes:

library founder = 1 (Jason M. Saragih).

Article authors = 3 (Jason M. Saragih), (Simon Lucey), (Jeffrey F. Cohn)

Solution 1:

There's no need to use et al. in that sentence, but if you really want to, you'd need to write something like:

"Jason M. Saragih, the founder of this JavaScript library, et al. wrote an article reviewing considerations on how to accelerate their approach."

Et al. means and others. You cannot "write an article with and others."

Solution 2:

(New revision by virtue of an excellent comment)

"Jason M. Saragih, the founder of this JavaScript library, wrote, with others, an article reviewing considerations on how to accelerate their approach."
