Pete Stewart graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 42.

After managing to survive a declining music industry and maintain a successful career as a producer and engineer for several years, I made a life-changing decision to change paths and pursue software development. I've always been fascinated by technology and programming, having built computers and written countless workflow-improving macros during my career of constantly using audio software, so the switch in direction was a natural one. One of the most exciting aspects of my journey to becoming a developer has been discovering the many similarities in skillsets required to produce music and to write code. I love being able to use my creative and problem-solving abilities in the entire process of building, designing and improving software. Learning to program has given me a renewed sense of satisfaction and inspiration, as well as a strong desire to always continue acquiring more knowledge and skills.
