Nicholas Valdez graduated with full time Web Development Cohort 60.After playing drums in Nashville for 6 years and working in the hospitality industry, I found myself with spare time during the pandemic and decided to explore my interest in programming. The interest sparked while working in DAW's such as Live, Logic Pro, and Pro Tools for sessions, during live performances, and as a hobby in producing my own music. What began as a way to pass the time quickly turned into a passion for understanding the ways in which technology shapes the world around us.
