Derick Cravens graduated with Web Development Cohort 55.

I have always been a very knowledge hungry person and that has led me to software development for a professional career. I strive to be the best in everything I do. I have always loved technology, and after finishing college I knew I wanted to move in the direction of software development where I will never stop learning.
