Connor Lopshire graduated with Web Development Cohort 56.

About Me: Professional painter turned software developer. I am a fast and passionate learner. I became a dedicated owner of Precision Paint Company in January of 2020. After years of hard physical labor, I decided that a career shift was necessary. All my research pointed towards software development, as many of the skills overlap with my background in painting such as creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and clear communication. Both emphasize good design principles and delivering a quality end result.

Favorite NSS Experience: a quote from Coach Steve 'Do not say it should work when it does not work. It is a computer, if it does not work then it should not. You can say that your logic is sound, but not that it should work.'
