Tampa Devs
I recently became VP & co-organizer of Tampa Devs, a new local meetup group for Tampa’s software development community. I’ve given presentations on application security to our members, and am working with the founder on developing strategic partnerships to support our outreach & educational missions. At the moment that’s primarily meeting with potential sponsors and incorporating Tampa Devs as a 501c3.
The founder and I just finished putting this killer pitch deck together. Check it out:
