@Winston Zin I did not find you — next time!

#local-bayarea - October 08, 2024 at 11:02 PM

Yes! I'm getting ready to catch the ferry.

@Johannon Olson are you going?

I’m happy this channel exists! :)

I don’t need a dedicated space, so I’ll apply tomorrow and will reach out with any snags. Thanks @Johannon Olson — really appreciate the help!

Haha. Not on the waitlist yet! I’ve held off sending my application in until I find a referral. As part of the initial email I received on how to apply, it was clear there is a waitlist.

Thanks @Johannon Olson. I’m looking to become a member. There is a waitlist and I’ve heard having a referral helps with that waitlist 😉

Is anyone in San Francisco Bay Area a member of Shack15 ? Or maybe has a friend/colleague who is a member?

Hi @ great to meet you. My colleague and I were looking at InterviewHelp for a project at one point. Great platform!

Hello 👋 I joined Gildre back in March right before going on a trip so got distracted from saying high. Then, “life happened” on my way back from vacation, and here we are 3 months later and I’m just now saying hi.

Background:
I’ve been CTO or a high-level technologist in a number of companies. I also was the Head of Education for a prominent national coding bootcamp based out of San Francisco, CA. Currently I run a software development agency building custom applications. We are specialists in e-commerce, logistics & warehousing, mobile and AI.

Why I joined Gildre:
I joined Gildre to surround myself with growth-minded folks who share my passion for continuous evolution. I’m trying to grow my (small) company from a services organization to a product-centric organization, and move myself out of an operational role and into a strategic one. I hope to get support and guidance from the mentors at Gildre on this journey.
