Re: Blind Developers Working Full-Time
Are you working for a company?
Yes. I am working for a good-size and well-known company in the US. We're Facebook friends, so you might know which company. ha
Are you doing contract work?
No. But really thinking about it. Also, freelance sounds good. nolan, maybe you can give some advice as to what freelancing networks you use (word of mouth, websites, etc). I have a relatively good position at the moment, but I can see me getting tired in the future of the typical workday.
What area of development does your work focus on (web development, database management, AI, etc)?
Well, I work as full stack developer, but the main product I help to support is a web-based product. We mainly use web technologies like _javascript_, ReactJS, etc on the frontend, and NodeJS and others in the backend. Git, Jenkins, and others are also used for management of code and bug tracking.
Do you like where you work?
Some days I do, and other days I don't. At the end of the day, it puts money in my wallet, so can't complain too much. Also, I feel like a lot of people feel the same way about their jobs.
Is their in-house software accessible?
It's getting there thanks to me. lol Well, only half kidding. There are efforts being made to make it accessible after it was brought up.
What's the culture like?
It's your typical big-company culture. You kind of have to fight to get noticed or get lost in the chaos. Also, a lot of meetings!
What do you do on a day-to-day basis?
Code, debug, deploy, and more meetings!
What made you choose to work for that company?
Nothing really. I just had a few job offers right out of college, and picked the one that paid relatively well and fit my skill set.
What did you major in college?
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
Do I see myself working in a different position?
Probably so in a year or two. My ideal position would be an Embedded Systems Engineer. I had such a position in the past, but couldn't really maintain it due to me being a university student. I really like low level coding. But I'm happy with anything related to coding, technology, etc!
