Blind Engineers and Cybersecurity (feat. Gabriel Mendez-Francis): The UPStarts Podcast

The UPStarts Podcast

*********DESCRIPTION********** The first time I met Gabriel Mendez-Francis this past April, I knew he was an expert of tech. A successful freelance web designer, well read in multiple areas of Computer Science, he wowed me when we were both attending Preview Weekend at Make School in San Francisco. Now the valedictorian of his high school, Mendez-Francis now plans to take his dreams and talent to the University of Alabama in Huntsville, to study Computer Science and Cybersecurity. In this episode we take a deep dive into Gabriel's upbringing, his struggles as both a blind man and albino, and his travels to conferences around the country, which deal with realities of differently-abled software engineers, and the future of Internet privacy. ******RESOURCES****** Find Gabriel on LinkedIn ********CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION******* Send me a voice message, to have your thoughts featured on the The UPStarts Podcast!
