About
Bioptic Coder
Blending Vision, Tech, and Accessibility.
Note from the editor

Welcome to Bioptic Coder, where the world of software development meets a unique vision, quite literally! I’m a seasoned software engineer with 13 years under my belt and a passionate advocate for accessibility in the tech world. My journey in this field has taken me from advertising to telecom and various big enterprises, with a heavy focus on software development, cloud hosting, and DevOps, primarily in a consulting environment. But here’s the twist: I see the world a little differently. Diagnosed with foveal hypoplasia, congenital horizontal nystagmus, and strabismus, my vision hovers around 20/150. This puts me on the cusp of legal blindness, putting me on the fence between multiple identities. It also gives me a vantage point that gives me a unique perspective on the world. Why “Bioptic Coder”? Well, “Bioptic” stems from the bioptic driving glasses used by visually impaired individuals — a nod to my own visual challenges. “Coder” is, of course, a salute to my profession and passion. Together, they form a lens (pun intended) through which I explore the tech world.
