About Me

Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Jackson Parsons. You can call me Jack. As long as I can remember, I have always loved taking things apart and trying to put them together. If it wasn't obvious how something worked, it became my mission to figure out exactly how it worked. After years of figuring out how music and electronics worked, I finally asked myself "how exactly do computer programs work?" That question led to hours of googling, which led to courses on edX and Codeacademy, which finally led to my enrollment at Nashville Software School.
