Patrick Mikes

Pat is a proud alumnus of The Last Mile and their full-stack web development program. Through engaging in their curriculum, he developed a strong working knowledge of JavaScript tools for front-end (HTML, CSS, React.js) and back-end (Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB) web development. After graduating, he continued to stay involved with The Last Mile as a classroom tutor to assist his peers through their learning journeys. As a returned citizen, he feels honored to continue that endeavor in his new role with the organization as a Remote Instructor.

Pat’s motto is “The work will teach you how to do it”. Through times in his journey when the path forward was unclear, this belief was a steady source of inspiration and optimism that, over the long run, you will get out what you put in. When he’s not at his computer, he enjoys jogging, listening to electronic music, watching his beloved football teams (The Detroit Lions and The Notre Dame Fighting Irish), and reading science fiction.
