Hey there, my fellow rebels of the digital realm! It’s your favorite space princess turned tech enthusiast, Carrie Fisher, coming at you from the not-so-far-away galaxy of Delaware. Now, I know what you’re thinking - “Delaware? Isn’t that just a tiny blip on the galactic map?” Well, hold onto your lightsabers, because this little state is about to blow your circuits with its roster of tech superstars!

Dramatic pause for effect

Ladies, gentlemen, and droids of all makes and models, I present to you: The Dirty Dozen of Delaware’s Tech Scene! These aren’t your run-of-the-mill code jockeys or circuit sorcerers. Oh no, my friends. These are the Jedi Masters of the keyboard, the Sith Lords of silicon, the… okay, I’ll ease up on the Star Wars references. But trust me, these folks are more impressive than a fully operational Death Star!

Let’s dive into this stellar lineup, shall we?

1. Chris Beronio: The Ice Wizard
Remember how I once helped take down an Imperial base on Hoth? Well, Chris here is making sure wind turbines don’t suffer the same icy fate! This ex-W.L. Gore data guru has teamed up with NASA to develop ice-free wind turbine tech. Talk about a cool job! (See what I did there?)

2. Jordan Chambers: The Election Guardian
Move over, Lando Calrissian! Jordan’s got the real Cloud City under control. As a cybersecurity pro at Delaware’s Department of Technology and Information, he’s safeguarding elections faster than you can say “I am your father.”

3. Emily Day: The Nano-Ninja
Professor Day isn’t just small talk - she’s developing nanoparticles for precision medicine at the University of Delaware. It’s like having a tiny Millennium Falcon zipping through your bloodstream, blasting away diseases!

4. Emmanuel Francis: The Code Whisperer
A JPMorgan Chase software engineer and Code Differently grad, Emmanuel’s probably forgotten more about coding than most of us will ever know. He’s like the R2-D2 of the banking world - beeping out solutions left and right!

5. Panas Kollas: The Trash Transformer
Founder of UNISCRAP PBC, Panas is turning food waste into treasure. It’s like he’s got a composting sarlacc pit, but instead of digesting for a thousand years, it’s creating green energy!

6. Keith Roper: The 3D Visionary
Co-founder of Tri-State 3D Tech and Design, Keith’s bringing buildings to life before they’re even built. It’s like having a holochess board, but for entire cities!

7. Basudeb Saha: The Carbon Crusader
RiKarbon’s founder is capturing carbon faster than Han Solo making the Kessel Run. His work in carbon capture and utilization is so groundbreaking, even Yoda would be impressed!

8. Brian Setzler: The Hydrogen Hero
Co-founder of Versogen, Brian’s cracking the code on green hydrogen production. It’s like he’s harnessing the power of Bespin’s tibanna gas, but way more eco-friendly!

9. Dave Singh: The Remote Mastermind
As the remote service desk manager for Best Egg, Dave’s probably dealt with more strange requests than a Mos Eisley cantina bartender. But he keeps Wilmington’s fintech scene running smoother than a well-oiled droid!

10. Rebecca Stern: The Climate Oracle
Chief science officer at Dunya Analytics, Rebecca’s crunching climate data like it’s nothing. She could probably predict weather patterns on Dagobah with her eyes closed!

11. Jada White: The Fintech Jedi
A product and DevOps engineer for Sika Box, Jada’s wielding code like a lightsaber in the fintech arena. She’s probably disrupting traditional banking faster than the Rebels took down the Empire!

12. Cathy Wu: The AI Alchemist
This University of Delaware professor is mixing computational biology and machine learning like a master potion maker. It’s as if she’s teaching droids to think like organic lifeforms!

Now, I know what you’re wondering: “Carrie, how in the galaxy did you become such an expert on Delaware’s tech scene?” Well, let’s just say a princess picks up a few things while traversing the universe. Plus, I’ve always had a soft spot for underdogs and rebels, and Delaware’s tech community is full of 'em!

These 12 techno-wizards are proof that you don’t need a Death Star-sized budget or a Coruscant-level metropolis to make waves in the tech world. They’re innovating in everything from cybersecurity to climate tech, from fintech to food waste recycling. It’s like watching the Rebel Alliance come together, each member bringing their unique skills to the table.

Software development might seem like a galaxy far, far away to some, but these Delaware dynamos are bringing it right to our doorstep. They’re not just coding; they’re crafting the future, one line at a time.

So, the next time someone tries to tell you that Delaware is just a tiny blip on the tech radar, you hit 'em with this list. These 12 engineers are the unsung heroes of the First State’s digital revolution, and they’re just getting started.

Remember, in the words of a wise Jedi master (okay, one last Star Wars reference, I promise):

“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?” - Yoda

Delaware might be small, but its tech scene is mighty. And with these 12 leading the charge, who knows? Maybe the next big tech breakthrough will come not from Silicon Valley, but from the shores of the Delaware River.

Until next time, may the code be with you!

P.S. Don’t forget to keep an eye on Technical.ly for future RealLISTs. Who knows? Maybe next year, we’ll be featuring a droid engineer. Stranger things have happened in a galaxy far, far away… and in Delaware!
