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

This post is a breakdown of some of the things @emrebeyler aka Emre, a witness for the Steem blockchain, does to help benefit the greater good of Steem.

Main description: Emre is a developer witness who posts nearly every day and is behind big projects like dPoll and Steemconnect which have significantly increased the usability of the Steem platform. He also created Infestor which creates free steem accounts; he’s given away 150 accounts. He created his first block on March 8th, 2018, so he’s been around for a year. He also helps curation by running multiple curation bots, and monitoring development related submissions. Also has created community raffles for @SteemMonster cards, also plays and develops tools for @drugwars (community involved).

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, @theycallmedan! 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. :)"
