AMA on 11/11

Hello readers! In honor of Veteran’s Day tomorrow, I invite you to join us on Slack for a conversation with Vanguard Application Engineer Dennis Paskel. Dennis severed in the US Army before earning a bachelor’s degree from Temple University, and more recently earning a bootcamp certification through Tech Elevator.

 

We’ll be hearing all about this journey and what he’s learned tomorrow, Nov. 11, in our public Slack's #ama channel at 3 p.m. Please do join us, and bring your own Qs for Dennis.
