Zach Tidwell's story is about overcoming struggles with depression and blindness to build a successful app development career. He joined the military, experienced traumatic brain injuries, went through a divorce, and struggled with alcohol before attempting suicide. After surviving, he sought therapy, got sober, and began coding apps. His app Xanagrams, a word puzzle game, won an award from Apple Viz and is fully accessible for blind users. Zach's long-term plan is to develop more accessible apps, such as a business tool for gyms. He continues to manage his depression, but is physically active and sober, finding fulfillment in making a positive impact on the blind community. His story serves as inspiration for others facing similar challenges.
