For the second time in my career, my project has been nominated for a Webby Award. The first time was back in 2008, when the internet was still cool, and I worked at Nick.com, where I helped build groundbreaking apps such as Nicktropolis and Turbonick. Our main competition that year was canihazacheezeburger.com, and believe it or not we won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year the project is Permission Slip (https:\/\/permissionslipcr.com<\/a>), a mobile app to help people take back control of their personal data online, inspired by California’s Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CCPA) which defines compliance measures a company must undertake when a consumer requests the exercise of their privacy rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As lead engineer on the project and of the Innovation Lab at Consumer Reports, I’m especially gratified that we’re nominated in the category of Technical Achievement. Of course I’m part of a pretty large, and very intelligent, creative, knowledgeable and otherwise awesome team. And sometimes it feels like a large part of my job is just going to meetings and telling everyone my opinions. But I guess that actually is an important job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyway, you can vote here, until the end of the week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vote now for: Apps & Software – Technical Achievement (https:\/\/vote.webbyawards.com\/PublicVoting#\/2023\/apps-dapps-and-software\/app-features\/technical-achievement<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vote now for: Apps & Software – Public Service & Activism (https:\/\/vote.webbyawards.com\/PublicVoting#\/2023\/apps-dapps-and-software\/general-apps\/public-service-activism<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the second time in my career, my project has been nominated for a Webby Award.
