I can finally relax (a bit) now that we shipped iWork ‘06. Overall, I’m very pleased with this release, and glad to see that the product making progress in the market (reviews have been positive as well). My responsibilities were on the engineering efforts for the new real-time 3D charts feature. Below are some pictures from Steve Jobs’ recent keynote at Macworld where he was using the new charts I also included a picture from the iWork display on the expo floor.

Update (4/5/08): iWork ‘08 shipped earlier this year and was my last project at Apple. I worked mostly on improvements to 3D Charts - resolution/hardware independent tile rendering allowing infinite zoom and high quality printing, improved materials selectable in new texture browser, integration with the new spreadsheet app Numbers, and lots of performance improvements under the hood. You can watch an Apple marketing video showing some of the new features here.
