Seattle’s Best Technologist
Once again, I’m a finalist in the Best Startup Technologist category for the Seattle 2.0 Awards.
I’d be amazed to win, considering the awesome competition - Joe is one of my favorite people in the Seattle tech scene, Dr. Kushler invented freaking T-9 for crying out loud, and Adam and Bill aren’t exactly chopped liver, but it’s definitely an honor to be in such company:
