John Bain graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 40.

Programming has always been an interest of mine. I was self-taught at first, then took classes at Tennessee Tech University that sparked my interest even more. It always feels great to get a project working no matter how big or small.

Felipe Moura Fonseca Cavalcanti graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 40.

As a lawyer in Brazil I had to be trained to work with complex situations that required creativity and skilled solutions regarding the majority of issues within society, specifically those touching upon civil law. Once in the United States, I allowed myself the opportunity to explore my natural interest for computer programming and began the process to educate myself and join the information technology field. I appreciate and enjoy the logistics of problem solving and the endless opportunities for learning that are integral to programming.

Roxanne Nasraty graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 40.

I've traveled to Japan to teach English and partnered with insurance brokers to make sure employees could elect health care online. These experiences lead me to discover that I wanted to both interact with a wide range of people and get hands on involvement in making and maintaining the software I use. I feel inspired by the constant challenge of keeping up with changing code norms, learning new languages, and knowing that you can always be better than you were the day before.

Kirk Sudduth graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 40.

Most of my working life has been spent punching the clock at restaurants. Specifically, Burger Up and Burger Up East Nashville. The soft skills I have earned since I began working at restaurants are immeasurable. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience working at restaurants, but I felt the need to shift careers because software development is incredibly exciting and a tornado on March 3 destroyed BU East. When I'm not wading through the murky water of opportunity disguised as obstacle, I'm really loving getting to spend all this extra time with my partner and our child! Self-improvement is my daily pursuit.
