If you're a software engineer, apart of a tech startup, or have any career in technology in Oklahoma you'll probably know what Techlahoma is:
My vision for Oklahoma is that we're much like a startup. We, as a state, have some baggage which limits the growth of the people who live here, but have world class talent, capacities, and a genuine culture of positivity. We're often underestimated, and overlooked as a result, but our biggest problems is the lack of uniting each other and telling our stories. When I discovered Techlahoma I knew that this organization supported that from the tech industry and knew I had to help where I could.
In the organization I held titles from Volunteer of the Year all the way up to Board Member. Through that time I worked on:
My only regret is that I had to leave the organization to focus on my startup. I simply didn't have enough time to focus on my family, startup, and the non-profit as a volunteer. I hope to return to Techlahoma should I successfully exit Nodecraft and move on. It's a subject I held too close to my heart and simply couldn't step away from without feeling like I was letting the entire organization and it's members down.
