Tyson Vanek Joins Webapper
Our march towards world domination continues. Expect our next conference giveaway t-shirts to read “All your base are belong to us”. 
Seriously, though, we’re ecstatic to welcome Tyson Vanek to the team here at Webapper. He’s actually been a member of our extended “family” for many years, in that he was part of the Allaire Consulting Services team, where many of the Webappers here originally met and worked together (including yours truly). Both during and since his time at Allaire/Macromedia, Tyson has been the Lead Architect of some of the largest, most complex ColdFusion applications in the world. At one time, Tyson held the highest recorded score on the BrainBench Certified ColdFusion Developer exam (Master level), and was eventually hired to write the next version of the exam. In addition to his time at Allaire/Macromedia, he has also delivered his expertise to customers such as Foot Locker, Williams-Sonoma, The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Lockheed Martin, Abbott Labs and Discovery Communications.
He brings his considerable expertise to fill the role of Senior Web Architect here, and his first project will be to spearhead a rewrite of a massive ColdFusion-based insurance underwriting application. A big Webapper welcome to Tyson!
Congrats guys, you have certainly assembled a world class team over there. Great catching up with you all at MAX…

Thanks, Rob. However, I don’t recall doing too much "catching up". We were too busy doing Las Vegas-y type things

As Clint Eastwood said, "A man’s got to know his limitations." Rob and I took that advice to heart when we broke away from the debauchery early on Wednesday of the conference, and went to grab a bite to eat, and catch up. (Great finally meeting and getting to know you a bit, Rob!) The rest of Webapper-dom, however–oh, man. They set new highs (lows?) for conference partying. I think several of them are STILL feeling it!
