John Thielman graduated with Part-time Web Development Cohort Evening 10.

Before starting the full-stack programming bootcamp at Nashville Software School, I tutored high school students in many subjects for standardized test prep, and worked as an alterationist for Eric Adler Clothing. The promise of more complex problem-solving intrigued me, and my experience with natural languages gave me confidence that I could handle the syntax of a computer language. Computer programming is just what I needed to get me out of my rut. It continually surprises and challenges me, and offers more room for creativity than I'd even hoped for.
