Tacoma Code & Coffee @ The Pioneer Collective

NOTE: Please read description on free parking, pastries, and coffee! Please RSVP to secure your spot and help us get an accurate count on coffee.

Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people bring projects to work on, and many other people socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!

The Intro Circle
Around 30 minutes into the event (12:30 pm), we will do a standup in a circle.

Round 1:
Your name
Your occupation/professional interests
What would you like help with?

Round 2:
Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
Community events you wanna plug.

After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized. Talks/demos will be hosted in a nearby meeting room (details below).

Presentations

Presenter: Greg has been a Tacoma resident for 3 years, having moved to Washington from Ohio back in 1999. He's been an Amazon employee (software developer) since 2006 and has spent much of that time in AWS on backend infrastructure.
