Stories from the Hackery

Jonathan Watson graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 48.

Ashton Monzi graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 48.

Prior to starting at Nashville Software School, I was a senior graphic designer with 6 years of industry experience. I became interested in software development after getting hands-on experience during my time at a Nashville creative agency. It was there that I realized how much I enjoyed applying the creativity from graphic design to a more technical field. I loved the collaboration within the team of developers as well as the logical and creative steps to solving complex problems. This interest led me to Nashville Software School’s Web Development Jumpstart course where I could utilize my attention to detail and problem-solving abilities. That experience showed me I wanted to be in a field that, along with promoting continual growth, didn’t shy away from the How and Why of a project.

Val Currie graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 48.

Digital audio got me into computers after a few early bandmates really let me down. For a while I was a lone coder struggling and finding mild success on my own. Now I’ve got some serious collaborative development skills under my belt and I can’t wait to join a new group and crank out some sweet, sweet (likely metaphorical) music. In my spare time I tinker with FOSS audio production and physical computing.

Dakota Lambert graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 48.

Madeline Crowley graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 48.

A long-time interest in technology and design led me to a casual exploration of coding. After taking a jumpstart class at Nashville Software School in 2019, I realized that I wanted to make software development a more focused and professional pursuit, and was eventually able to enroll in a full-time bootcamp there. I enjoy thinking creatively and analytically to solve problems and develop new ideas into real-word applications.

Raised in Franklin, Tennessee. I love art, math, science, and coding, of course. I enjoy learning new and creative ways to solve interesting problems in order to create something fun and interesting. Coding is a great fit for me because of this, and since I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, I don't expect myself to stop enjoying coding anytime soon.
