Devin Garcia graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 48.

Growing up as a musician, I always wanted to advance my skills and expand my vocabulary on my instrument. It is this same approach that I bring to software development. The more you practice and learn, the easier it is to express yourself creatively. As an artistic person, it bothers me when I can see the end vision of a project, but do not have the necessary skills to implement said project. I am determined to remove as many of these barriers as possible.

I started my developer career path on my own, and for almost a year, I absorbed everything I could. I was able to attain a firm grasp on programming fundamentals and was quickly solving more complex problems. Before the year was over, I made the decision to attend Nashville Software School's full-stack web development course. My goal was to learn industry best-practices and become career ready.
