  • Jon Durr - Web Development
    Jon Durr graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 39.
    With an engineering background and a love of problem solving I took the plunge into basic front-end development with a short, in person foundations program that had me hooked. Afterwords, I enrolled in this full-time course and have been working to develop my own skills so that I can pursue software development full-time. I hope to one day combine my passion for health care and improving the lives of patients with my new-found love of programming.

  • Alexander Curnow - Web Development
    Alexander Curnow graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 39.
    My introduction to software development was initially sparked by my band's manager, who has been a developer for 15 years. For me, the most enticing aspect of being a software engineer is that the learning is truly endless! Wearing my nerd on my sleeve here, but the problems are like games in which a developer needs to create and cast spells in order to solve. I'm always looking forward to the next challenge, and for the first time in a long time I no longer dread the end of the weekend because software engineering is just that cool!

    Raymond Arceneaux graduated with Part-time Web Development Cohort Evening 10.
    I am a native of Nashville and the father of two sons. I found my way to software development via teaching my youngest son the alphabet. I created him a simple pretend app using Microsoft PowerPoint to engage him in the fundamentals of phonics. Before learning how to code, I spent a combined 22 years of my professional career in real estate, banking, and state government. Today, I seek to leverage my new skillset of software development to help solve problems in the community.
