John Wark
John started programming professionally at age 19. After a long and multifarious career in technology, he founded NSS in 2012. He believed that Nashville's technology talent shortage would never be solved by trying to import experienced developers from other cities or by waiting for colleges and universities to start graduating enough students and/or appropriately trained students. He also had faith that Nashville had an ample supply of motivated adults with latent aptitude who, if offered a chance, would eagerly pursue a career in technology.
We've been researching additional skills that will help junior developers and data analysts succeed. And soon we'll be launching more continuing education courses tailored to enhance and connect your skills for our Seekers as a part of ProTech.

We asked our alumni whether, and possibly how, to integrate teaching of generative AI tools into our bootcamp programs. Just as we found last year, there are very real differences of opinion among our alumni regarding the extent to which we should be teaching the use of generative AI tools - or even whether we should be teaching anything about these tools.
