Every so often I want to highlight a witness I vote for that I think is doing great things for STEEM.

From personal experience, Emrebeyler has always been very helpful in answering any questions I have. Very driven individual. While I was using dPoll for my delegation contest, the speed of development was amazing. He saw where any improvements could be made and developed them hastily. Overall, I am thrilled to have Emrebeyler here as a Steem witness, and he has my full support!
EDIT: "Thanks for the spotlight, ! It feels great to have support from you.
A minor correction:
Emre is a developer witness who posts nearly every day and is behind big projects like dPoll and Steemconnect
I am not behind Steemconnect.
I have built a Python library for programmers to use Steemconnect easily in Python programming language. It's a small contribution in comparison to actually building it. :)"
