You would think, after working on Flex for more then five years, that I know most of the sordid details regarding my Flex teammates’ lives. Well…no. In this morning’s status meeting, I was privy to some new information. Matt Chotin, Product Manager extraordinaire for Flex, has a middle name. And it’s Helm! Like Helm’s Deep!
This might be the coolest middle name ever!
It’s safe to say, this bit of news definitely made my morning.
[…] some new information. Deepa Subramaniam, developer extraordinaire for Flex, is a big dork. Because the first thing she thought of when she heard that Matt Chotin’s middle name was ‘Helm’ […]
Yeah, but your name means “a lamp” - yes I had to look it up. I’m mean that’s way cooler. A lamp is something to show you the way in dark places. Maybe your nickname should be “Earendil”?
The Flex Team: “Helm Deepa”
I am so with you Deepa on this one, just check out the photo to see…

I’m with you Deepa, that’s pretty cool.
Any chance we could get Matt into an orc costume? …at a keynote?
