Zach McWhirter graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 41.

I've always been fascinated with the tech industry, but I missed it the first time around. In 2006 I chose a path in real-estate, where I immediately saw the powerful role that software played in building a successful brand. Though I enjoyed the real-estate business, I left in 2017 when I was offered the chance to build a business from the ground up. This time, I found myself using precise handheld computers to track sales, manage logistics, and ensure quality service. And when I finally discovered Nashville Software School I jumped at the chance to understand and build the kind of technology that helped me thrive in the business world.
