Derek Malone graduated with Web Development Cohort E16.

Building and creative problem solving have been passions of mine since a young age. These passions led me to pursue a degree in Ceramics, then led me into the field of Insurance Marketing, and ultimately led me to entering Nashville Software School's Full Stack Development program. Software Development has allowed me to not only use these skills but also sharpen and grow them in ways that I never thought possible. I am happy to say that I have joined Nashville Software School as a Junior Instructor!
