Before the pitches started, I ran into a fellow Trojan I knew who just graduated from USC, Nathan Doctor. Nathan, pitched Code Wars as a platform for developers/coders to test their skills against each other and get ranked in what would be an impromptu micro-hackathon. We were all in such a high for winning the competition!!!
