When Marques Bradley joined Acclinate amidst the pandemic's uncertainty in October of 2020, it wasn't just another job opportunity; it was a call to make a tangible difference. With a background in web development, Marques was ready for a new challenge but found something more—a mission to bridge the equity gap in healthcare.
"Right after the pandemic, I got the call from Acclinate. Talking to Del, he shared his vision and how clinical trials could have impacted his own family. It was then I knew It wasn't just about making a profit; it was about making a difference for people like me," Marques recalls.
Marques' journey at Acclinate has been marked by growth, not just professionally as a software engineer but personally, witnessing the company's commitment to its mission and its people. "Seeing things we said we'd do come to fruition is incredibly validating. It's not just about hitting targets; it's about making an impact," he shares.
But what makes Acclinate special for Marques goes beyond the professional milestones. It's the personal touch, the care from team members, and the genuine support for one another's growth and well-being. "It's a place where your work truly matters, where you're not just a cog in the machine but a part of a family working towards a common goal," Marques reflects.
A memorable moment for Marques was running into Del at a bowling alley off the clock, where Del introduced himself not as Marques's boss but as a coworker. This interaction exemplified the supportive and inclusive culture at Acclinate, where everyone, from the leadership to the newest team members, is valued and recognized for their contributions.
Working under leaders like Del and Tiffany, Marques found mentors who value each team member's contributions and well-being. "Del's approachability and Tiffany's drive to elevate those around her have been instrumental in not just our projects' success but in creating a culture where everyone is encouraged to grow and excel."
As Acclinate looks to the future, Marques sees limitless potential—not just for the company but for the communities it serves. "The moon is the limit. We're not just working on projects; we're part of a movement to change healthcare for the better."
For Marques, Acclinate isn't just a workplace. It's a platform to effect change, a place where every line of code contributes to a larger purpose—making healthcare equitable for all.
"I've found everything I've ever wanted in a job here at Acclinate. An opportunity to do meaningful work, be part of a supportive team, and yes, make a good living while we're at it.”
