Will Wilkinson

Hi, I'm Will. Nice to meet you.

Tinkering with technology has been a passion of mine since I was a kid. It started with upgrading RAM in my computer, and evolved into building my own PC's in college. I originally went to school for computer science and computer forensics, but after my fourth year at college I decided to change my major to pursue a career in business and landed my first sales job at ADP.

After six successful years in sales at ADP and Brown & Brown I realized I wanted a career where I could build something that solves a problem. I found web development through a contact of mine and immediately started learning everything I could on various websites like Udemy, Freecodecamp and SoloLearn. Following a year of learning and building my own projects, I found Nashville Software School where I decided to solidify my education by enrolling in their Full-Stack Web Development boot camp. During my education so far, I've learned not just about coding, but also what it takes to work with a team of developers to build a functional product.
