About Tate
I've grown up all over the world but never took a coding class until college. I feel in love with the ability to create, build, and drive business value. I've worked at several fortune 500 companies and have experienced startup environments and large corporate settings. I've been a TA for technical interview prep classes and I have built businesses from the ground up. I'm always working on a side project or reading a medium article about what's new in the tech world. I'm here to help, brainstorm, provide advice, or just be a sounding board. I love meeting new people and helping them explore new domains or sharpen skills.
