Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.

We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.
In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉
