What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment focused on accessibility and innovation, where I can contribute to meaningful projects.

I am a dedicated Accessibility Engineer with a strong commitment to transforming technology through a user-centric approach that emphasizes accessibility and diversity. My experience includes migrating codebases to modern frameworks like VueJS while maintaining existing systems, and leading initiatives that have significantly improved accessibility metrics within my organization.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to develop features and enhance user experiences. My work has resulted in an 80% increase in accessibility compliance and a 50% reduction in client support requests. I thrive in environments where I can leverage my technical skills and passion for inclusion to create impactful solutions.
