Havin Proud

My Name is Havin Proud (Pronounced Hay-vin). I was born in Texas and was raised in Ft Leonardwood Missouri. I enjoy spending time with My wife and son.

In 2019 I reached my life`s goal to become a Paramedic. I enjoyed being able to help people and to know that I made a huge impact on many lives throughout my career. In 2022 I attended online classes and took an Intro to Software Development class which sparked a new passion in my life, coding.

In 2023 I embarked on a journey with App Academy to achieve my new goal of becoming a Software Developer. Along the way, my 10-year-old son has watched me build different applications and has expressed his love for coding. Now he and I enjoy spending time reading through code and discussing what we can build next.

Throughout both my personal and professional experiences, I have discovered I have a very laid-back personality and that I can also express great empathy for others. In addition, I believe that the respect I showed to my peers and the respect I earned from them, not only had a lasting impact on me but was also a large part of the successes I achieved in the professional areas of my life. Mutual respect is important when communicating with others. One more area that I feel I am strong in is maintaining a positive attitude towards my work and my interactions with my peers. This positively has been a key factor in my approach to the many challenges I have faced, and has given me the ability to explore many different solutions to problems.
