Follow these 10 Charm City tech stars

Hey hey hey, Charm City. It's Wednesday. Hope you're staying warm. 

While you ponder some of the main questions we encounter every fall — i.e. is it too cold to wear shorts to the Great Halloween Lantern Parade? — we encourage you to partake in another autumn tradition: learning about the most influential local technologists and boosters in Technical.ly's latest RealLIST Engineers.

Scroll down to find our newest annual roundup of Baltimore-area developers whose technical sophistication is accompanied, if not matched, by their dedication to making their companies and the region a better place to live. From a longtime cyber analyst with an org educating Baltimore's future tech pros to a solutions architect with a passion for uplifting underrepresented tech workers, these 10 technologists represent a narrative of positive and holistic change too often missing from discourse about Baltimore — one in which technologists are helping build a more vibrant and equitable future for the whole region. 

Do you know any of these 10 RealLIST Engineers? How about someone you think should make next year's list? Check out the story below and let us know your thoughts by responding to this email or sending another to baltimore@technical.ly.
