  • Ben Jarrett - Web Development Cohort 14
    Ben Jarrett graduated with part time Web Development Evening Cohort 14.
    Dedicated, efficient, and always learning. When I love something, I am all in. I dive headfirst and learn everything there is to learn about it. This is something that I love about software development. There is an infinite amount of knowledge and skills that I will always be working toward learning and applying to not just work, but life as well. I am seeking an opportunity to be a part of a team that loves to learn, better themselves, and to help each other along the way.

    After over a decade in the animal care field, I was looking for a new challenge and Software Development grabbed hold of me and I never looked back. I discovered many similarities between my old career and new one, including: problem solving, efficient communication, adaptability and passion. I have enjoyed the highs and learned from the lows and look forward to diving deeper into my new and exciting vocation. If I’m not in front of my computer, you will find me outside hiking, cycling or training for my next endurance adventure.

    Hunter Juneau graduated with part time Web Development Evening Cohort 14.
    I began my journey at Nashville Software School having only dabbled in programming before. What NSS did was teach me hope to learn, which has become an instrumental part of this field. Now web development has become something I am passionate about. What drives me is knowing that the code that I write can change lives and progress the world.

    Cassie Tesauro graduated with Web Development Cohort 50.
    I'm a teacher-turned-developer born and raised in Nashville. When I'm not coding, I'm most likely playing video games, reading, or cooking something that will turn out inedible. NSS has been an incredible experience and I look forward to new challenges ahead. If you need it, I'll learn it!

  • Stefan Borghesani - Web Development Cohort 50
    Stefan Borghesani graduated with Web Development Cohort 50.
    I have worn many hats in my past careers; purchasing and inventory management, supervising, short-order cook, and delivery driver just to name a few. If there is one thing that has permeated through all these jobs, it is the technology I used to support me in these roles. Software development has endless possibilities, and is as rewarding as it is challenging. I am excited to continue my journey as a programmer and a student - because if there is one thing I have discovered about this field, it is that I will never stop learning.
