Remembering Vincent Tang: Community Builder and Friend

Image
TL;DR: Vincent Tang, founder of Tampa Devs, was more than a leader—he was a true friend and brother. From hackathons to housewarmings, he built welcoming spaces that shaped the Central Florida dev community. Last week I attended his funeral, met his family, and was reminded how short life is. This blog is my way of celebrating his life and the mark he left on all of us. By  Javi , Developer and Community Organizer at  GDG Central Florida
