Rushay Hays graduated with Web Development Cohort 55.

I am a professional at working harder and now I'm learning to work smarter. I spent some time re-evaluating my place in the market and what I could do to reach my personal goals and realized that transitioning into software development would make better use of my abilities and allow me to offer more to others.
