Shawn Conerton graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 44.

I did not think I would be going into coding, but I am happy I did. Moving to Nashville from rural Illinois has been a interesting journey. Over the last 7 years of working odd jobs from Event Lighting, service industry work and being a professional songwriter has given me a Swiss army knife book of skills that helps me with my new path, coding. Now starting on my new career of software development through the teaching of Nashville Software School has pushed me to new feats of what I feel like I am able to accomplish. From organization and communication skills- to problem solving like I have never done before. As of now, with the mind of a student, not accepting defeat from pesky bugs and errors has been a new challenge. I am motivated and determined to success and write the best code I possibly can.
