  • Maggie Greene - Web Development
    Maggie Greene graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 37.
    I'm a professional model turned software developer. Over the past few years, I have travelled around the world posing for a living, and although I truly enjoyed all that came with that, I longed to keep growing intellectually besides reading on planes! Growing up, I was fascinated by all things technology. Not only the technology itself, but the 'how' behind the screen. Hence, code. I decided to take a leap into software development, and I haven't looked back since!

  • Holden Parker - Web Development
    Holden Parker graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 37.
    My love for video games led me to building my first computer when I was 16 and have built three more from scratch since then. I've always been rather tech-savvy and intrigued by technology as it's progressed. After doing some research while working at Two Men and a Truck the summer of 2019, I attended a 3 week jump start course at Nashville Software School and wrote my first line of code in September of the same year. The same passion I had while building computers was reignited with building applications. I am excited to begin my new career in technology.

  • Namita Manohar - Web Development
    Namita Manohar graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 37.
    I decided to become a developer after teaching 3 years of computer science at the high school level. After simultaneously teaching myself and my students basic coding, my curiosity in this field peaked. I found the problem solving nature of coding to be intellectually rewarding. I am passionate about increasing diversity and representation in the technology field especially after teaching students of color computer science in a field dominated by one race.

    Jasmine Williams graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 37.
    I'm a web developer and a lover of languages, learning and traveling. I chose software development because I love to create things that are beautiful, meaningful and useful. I'm inspired by the endless opportunity to be challenged, to learn and to solve problems, but I am also choosing it for the community of people who want to help others and make things better with code.
