GoKawiilDeveloper details building NBC's touchscreen election night 'Big Board' tool
A developer recounts building the interactive county-level election results tool used by Steve Kornacki on NBC and MSNBC, starting as a January prototype that grew into a live broadcast system after approval from network executives. He and colleague Michael Small built it with NBC News Digital's product and tech teams, and described managing real-time code updates and server deployments during live election night broadcasts watched by roughly 10 million viewers.
