Techlahoma has been, without question, one of the best organizations I have been a part of. I have never seen so many people so dedicated to helping their community continue to grow.I joined in March of 2021 while transitioning careers. Immediately after joining, I was welcomed with open arms. More than that, I was encouraged to participate. A more established member reached out to me and asked me to give a lightning talk (which is an online presentation approximately 10 minutes in length). This senior member has basically become my mentor with the amount that she has pushed me to grow. She somehow finds the time to help me and all others that are needing help.It's also a very active community. Unlike other large communities I have been a part of, there are people posting in Slack every day. There are constantly meetups for people to casually chat with other members. Techlahoma is also involved in the larger community events, whether its in partnership as with the OKC tech ++ events or its an organizer as with the Thunder Plains event.If you are in Oklahoma and are in tech, interested in tech, or just want to be part of a fantastic community, I cannot recommend Techlahoma highly enough.
Techlahoma is a fantastic community of tech-oriented people and a tremendously helpful organization.
The knowledge and experience I gained through other professional engineers and tech workers helped me become more proficient and professional as a Developer in every way and drastically improved my quality of life.
To this day, Techlahoma helps improve the lives of everyday people trying to get into tech by sponsoring user groups that teach code and general tech events.
The Techlahoma Board highly values local talent and fosters an environment that puts any developer on the path to success.
I'm proud to be a member of the Techlahoma Board,
Daniel Ashcraft.
