Hey New Techies,
With the holidays upon us, I want to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season. This will be our last newsletter for 2023 as everyone keeps slowing down into 'holiday mode'.
If you are looking for a nice way to give a little something to hard working Amazon drivers, just as Alexa. Check out this GeekWire article for a cool way to thank those working to deliver our packages this holiday season.
We look forward to getting back to our regular cadence of events after the holiday break. New Tech Seattle meetups are moving to Thursdays in 2023 with our first event of the year on Thursday, January 12th. Get your tickets now to see speakers discussing career growth from women in STEM, an AI-backed day trading simulator, and cyber security for small businesses.
As I mentioned last week, applications just opened for my 1/26/23 group coaching cohort for techies with ADHD. You can schedule a two hour complimentary coaching session to learn more about the cohort or 1:1 transformational ADHD or leadership coaching. If creating a fulfilling and powerful 2023 matters to you please reach out.
New Tech is always on the lookout to feature cool tech and the innovators behind it. If you or someone you know is interested in presenting, getting featured in our newsletter or sponsoring in-person events, please reach out!
Thanks, as always, for being active in our community. Happy Holidays and we'll see you in January!

Each week in the New Tech Newsletter we feature a Spotlight Q&A with founders, angels, New Tech alumni presenters, and other people or companies in our community we believe you’d like to learn about. Reach out if you'd like to recommend a startup, founder, angel, accelerator, or New Tech alumni presenter for us to spotlight for the PNW tech community! This week we spoke with Owen Rubel, API Architect at BeAPI.
 . 
When this company first started, they were called BoomstickAPI. Since then, they have changed their name to BeAPI Framework, and now offer a whole series of tools on their Github page. It has become one of the most popular open source frameworks for API’s and is mainly used by large-to-enterprise businesses like Netflix, Boeing, and Amazon for its ease of use and scalability.
What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned since you first presented at NTNW?
Developers have become lazier than the end user; They don’t want to learn how to build api’s, secure them or even learn how they work. They just want to build frontend and have everything else done for them. So I have simplified and learned to automate nearly all aspects of API’s… including allowing API’s to call other API’s.
Did the pandemic cause your company to change/pivot your business model or strategy?
Not really but I am in the middle of a long overdue rewrite to improve speed even more.
