  • Jansen van der Spuy - Web Development
    Jansen van der Spuy graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 37.
    Growing up, I had always loved learning and solving challenging problems. In the past few years, I've discovered that the best way for me to make a difference is the field of technology and software development -- not only do I get to learn new things every day, I get to apply my knowledge directly towards solving practical problems.

  • Ryan Bishop - Web Development
    Ryan Bishop graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 36.
    I learned about software development working previously in a customer-facing technical role in the food production industry. This position introduced me to Statistical Data Analysis, Regression Analysis, Machine Learning, and programming and database management (Python/SQL). Leveraging this technical experience and a decade of business experience, I transitioned into software development via Nashville Software School. I'm a lifelong learner and inspired by continuous improvement principles, software design patterns, and passionate people. Let's solve problems together!

  • Jeremiah Bell - Web Development
    Jeremiah Bell graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 36.
    I decided in my early teens that I wanted to make a difference in the world and be a positive force. In my early twenties I realized that dream by joining the Army KY National Guard as a combat medic. I was honorably discharged at the end of my contract and attempted to find my feet in the civilian world. Nothing has felt so comfortable or right as software development. I want to continue to help people in a rapidly changing field, and use my talents and experience to bring joy and health to clients, employers, and to my family.

  • Chase Fite - Web Development
    Chase Fite graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 36.
    I have always been fascinated with computers and the internet growing up. I discovered a passion for programming while I was recovering from a knee injury sustained during my time in the United States Marine Corp. I found myself drawn into software development more and more as I studied Python and watched MIT OpenCourseWare lectures on computer science. I also spent over a year at Kennesaw State University pursing a computer science degree before realizing that the traditional college route would not give me the practical skills that I felt would be vital to my success. Nashville Software School has a proven track record of producing developers with the skills to hit the ground running.
