Meet Payton

 

Payton is passionate about computers and has been teaching himself coding well before starting Computer Programming with IGNITE Pathways. 

Payton is most excited about the opportunity to continue on with KNIGHT MOVES and continue with a career in development.

“I’ve been given the tools, not only to program in a language outside of the one that I learned before, but also the knowledge of where to look if I wanted to learn more.”
