Austin Blade graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 29.

My journey to software development began as a graphic designer for a skateboarding company. Learning the art of design eventually lead me to start my own brand and venture into manufacturing clothing. While learning how to manage a business effectively, building a screenprinting facility, and going through college, I found my passion for building things. After an internship with a digital marketing agency, I gained a curiosity for development. That curiosity stuck, lead me to a job fixing software issues for a living, then to Nashville Software School where I learned to combine my interest in technology with my passion for building things.
