Ali Paradise graduated with Web Development Cohort 53.

As a kid I loved legos and video games. I enjoyed the challenge and the exercise in patience. In college, my emphasis was photography. In the darkroom I could be creative, but also technical, to develop a photograph with just the right exposure. As an adult, I've learned that it's never too late to try something new, and the power of pure creativity. I've found that software development is a combination of all these pieces, with endless possibilities.
