Billy Mathison graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 31.

I spent 16 years working in mental health, helping others solve their problems. What I love most about being a software developer is that I have the ability to solve any problem. I still have the satisfaction of breaking something apart and trying to understand what the issue is. Now, I also get to solve that problem. Software development has allowed me to expand upon a part of my previous career that I enjoyed most while also providing the ability to directly solve a problem.
