Krystal Gates graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 33.

Professional carpenter turned software developer. I am a fast and passionate learner. After years of hard physical labor, I decided that a career shift was necessary. All my research pointed towards software development, as many of the skills overlap with my background in construction such as creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and clear communication. Both emphasize good design principles and delivering a quality end result. Now I’m exchanging that hammer for a keyboard, and I couldn’t be happier.
