# 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.
