Mikel Blake is a founder and former web developer with 11 years of experience focused on making tech careers accessible, especially for women and parents. After five years building web products at Degreed, she co-founded Tech-Moms to create the community and support she wished she had while learning web development. Based in San Francisco, she blends hands-on front-end skills from immersive bootcamps with a background in customer-facing and marketing roles, giving her a unique empathy for learner and user needs. Her career path—from legal assistant and customer service to director-level marketing and software development—reflects a talent for translating real-world problems into supportive tech-driven programs. Mikel’s work emphasizes community-building as a scalable product: she ships both code and social infrastructure to lower barriers into tech.
