Lucas Maley

President (2023-2024)

Being in JumboCode was easily one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. It's a community of incredibly smart, kind, and hardworking people, and I'm proud to call the people I met there my friends. As President, I was able to truly appreciate what people put into the club, and what comes out of it - skilled, community-oriented Jumbos and genuinely impactful projects which help nonprofits focus on the things that matter most. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat :)
