As we wrapped up the year at Iron Software, we took time to recognize the people who shaped how we worked, what we shipped, and how we moved the company forward. "These end-of-year awards aren’t about job titles. They’re about impact — the behaviors, ownership, and momentum that made a real difference in 2025. Thank you for all your hard work this year, and I look forward to next year!" - Cameron Rimington, CEO. 🏆 Employee of the Year — San Oo Maung Consistently delivering at a high level all year. San fired on all cylinders and made a huge impact across the business. Simply put: the GOAT. Congratulations to everyone recognized, and thank you to the entire Iron Software team for another year of building, learning, and pushing forward together. 🏆 Engineer of the Year — chanon seel-audom AKA Ikkyu For pushing IronPDF forward and working closely with Panuphan Chaimanee, Kulwarang Preeprem, Jacob Mellor and the broader engineering team. Ikkyu stepped up in a major way this year, driving quality, collaboration, and execution across the product. 📈 Career Developer — Kulwarang Preeprem For having a strong influence within engineering this year, pushing her team — and herself — toward new levels of growth and capability. A standout example of leadership through development. 🔥 Firestarter — Anne Lazarakis Awarded to the person who challenges the status quo, drives change, and keeps momentum high. Anne consistently puts fire under ideas that move the company forward. 🤖 Expert Use of AI — Darrius Serrant A special award championed by Jacob, recognizing how Darrius has embraced AI and applied it in a practical, execution-focused way across his projects. Real adoption, real outcomes. 🚀 Pushing New Things — Cho T. Our “rocket chicken.” Cho pushed an extraordinary number of projects forward across multiple departments this year. Her impact was felt everywhere, and she will be deeply missed. 🤘 Rock — Kate Noble For being consistently there for the team, rain or shine. Steady, reliable, and supportive — the person everyone can count on. You rock, Kate. 👶 Newcomer of the Year — Gavin Dickson New to the team, but never hesitant to share his thinking. Gavin brought fresh perspective and confidence, helping move the sales team forward from day one. 🌱 High Trajectory Awards — Jordi Bardia, Joseph Nguyen, Jim Fry Recognizing team members with exceptional growth potential. This one is about trajectory — and the future looks strong.

On Friday we wrapped up the year with our end-of-year party and took time to recognize the people behind the work. One of the awards presented was Engineer of the Year, recognizing consistent high performance, ownership, and impact throughout the year. This year’s recipient was Ikkyu AKA chanon seel-audom. At Iron Software, recognition isn’t a one-off moment. It’s part of how we work: - Employee of the Month to highlight ongoing contribution - End-of-year reviews with clear, direct feedback and bonuses - Personal Development Plans designed to genuinely develop careers, not just check a box This award is just a preview of how we invest in our team and acknowledge the people who raise the bar for everyone around them. Well done, Ikkyu—and thank you for the standard you set.

A great entry to the developer writing competition https://lnkd.in/gGdD2d65

C# has many new features in recent years. One that stands out? Pattern matching. Pattern matching lets you check if an object has specific characteristics: - Is null or is not null - Is of a particular type - Property has a specific value - Nested property meets a condition I enjoy using it for type checks. And I particularly like it with switch expressions. However, you also need to think about readability. Pattern matching is concise, and you usually write less code. But with complex conditions, it's harder to reason about. Want to learn more about functional programming in C#?
