My name is James Corcoran. I was born and raised on Long Island, NY and lived there for 21 years before moving to Florida to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Forensic Psychology. At Florida Institute of Technology I continued to pursue a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology but after realizing I was not interested in clinical work I left the program with a Masters degree and eventually started learning to code on my own. I moved back home and after learning Java and bits of other coding languages I decided to pursue a job in software development. A friend recommended I look into The George Washington University's bootcamp and eventually I applied and fortunately got accepted. My primary interests pertain to Psycholgy and Neuroscience (anything about the brain and behavior) and in the future I would love to find a way to apply my software development skills to that field.
