Who's your favorite engineer?

A conversation with a founder today reminded me of the importance of taking a little time to recognize the people in your community for exceptional work.

 

So let's take a minute to do so this afternoon: Who's the technologist in Baltimore or Maryland that you think is doing something great, whether it's innovative work or leadership skills? If you want to tell us who it is, nominate them for this year's RealLIST Engineers. We're excited to meet them!
