Patrick Delahanty

In 2013, Patrick Delahanty relocated from Newton, Massachusetts to Petaluma, California to join TWiT as a Web Engineer. He is responsible for maintaining the network's web-based infrastructure, including behind-the-scenes publishing systems and download analytics. Patrick regularly develops tools and applications for TWiT, including several internal systems and multiple Apple TV apps.

He holds a degree in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and primarily codes in PHP, with previous forays into Perl. He was featured in episode 42 of Coding 101.

Outside of TWiT, Patrick is best known as the creator of FanCons.com, the largest online directory of fan convention listings. He is also a producer and host of the AnimeCons TV podcast. Previously, he founded and hosted The Chibi Project, a long-running web series in which he conducted bizarre and often destructive experiments on toys—for no good reason—over a span of 15 years.

A passionate advocate for fan conventions, Patrick has attended nearly 200 of them. He is a co-founder of Anime Boston and the founder of Providence Anime Conference. For over two decades, he has hosted Anime Unscripted, a popular improv event that has been featured at more than a dozen conventions across two countries and five time zones.

In 2014, Patrick and his wife enjoyed a brief viral moment when their custom-built "Dancing Baby Groot," inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy, gained widespread attention online.

Back in the 1990s, Patrick provided the voice of the fighter pilots in the award-winning Macintosh games Escape Velocity and its sequel, EV: Override.

His professional journey began in 1995 as a "Websmith" at The Internet Company in Cambridge, Massachusetts—then the original owner of the internet.com domain. From there, he worked at The Monster Board, RivalWorks, About.com, and as a consultant, eventually returning to Monster.com for 11 years before moving on to TWiT.

Over the years, Patrick has risen to become TWiT's Chief Information Officer. He has led the development of key technologies behind the scenes, including the podcast publishing system, feed generation, the Middle Man analytics platform, and the integration of Memberful to power Club TWiT, the network's membership subscription service.

He's no longer active on Twitter (or "𝕏"), but you can follow him on Bluesky at pdelahanty.bsky.social.

And yes—he frequently submits Apple TV apps to Apple's App Store Connect, and yes—he does have permission to do so as a TWiT employee. In fact, that's why this paragraph was added as proof.
