Emmy’d

Wow, my first Emmy,

Rather Comcast’s Emmy for “Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development” for the iPad app I worked on for most of 2010. This one is my copy of it that now adorns the top shelf in my office.

Bonus points for being one of the first 3 engineers on the project!

You can find a more complete writeup on the award on the Comcast Voices blog. I haven’t been involved in that app since Jan 2011 and was recently informed that most of my code has finally been refactored out with newer/better implementations, but here’s hoping there is at least one dead code path that the team forgot about that compiles to the production app that still has my name on it 😉
