Why I Want To Work For Proton

+ +

Hello,

+ +

You may notice from the email address that I personally use a Protonmail email address. That in itself may not prove anything. +That said, security and privacy is what I live for. +Everybody deserves access to secure communication away from the prying eyes of the NSA, its global partners in spymenship and other governments and special interest groups around the world.

+ +

Proton embodies, to me, what email—and other internet services in general—should be. A service you pay for with your money, not your data.

+ +

What I Plan To Achieve

+ +

My specialty is in improving accessibility with screen readers and other blind-friendly devices. +The recent addition of key bindings to navigate the interface will go a long way towards accessibility for the visually impaired. +Awesome work!

+ +

I want to help Protonmail be the best secure, accessible email platform in the world.

+ +

Why I Applied Despite Lack Of Experience

+ +

I have been writing websites since high-school; I went to collage to learn what ‘real’ software development is like. Despite this, I put more time and effort into my off-school hours to learn what people are actually using on a large scale: Django, Ruby On Rails, Redis, Docker, ES6 Javascript. None of which was taught in class. +Since leaving school I have had the opportunity to use everything I learned out of class in real-world scenarios and I trust that I can take this information to Proton where I can help make the software better for everyone.

+ +

I am a self-starter and a go-getter. Nothing proves it like how much I learned outside of my classes compared to inside.

+ +
+ +

I would be honoured to work for a company I truly believe in.

+ +
