I improve digital accessibility through compliant web content, PDF remediation, and testing.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At the California Transportation Commission, I’ve remediated more than 500 PDFs and maintained accessibility across 50+ public-facing webpages, helping ensure WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 compliance.
I test digital content with JAWS and NVDA, resolve issues affecting blind and low-vision users, and publish accessible content through Sitecore CMS. I also troubleshoot HTML, CSS, formatting, broken links, document tags, reading order, forms, tables, and alternative text.
I’m also building technical support and full-stack development experience through Caltrans and PetSpark, where I developed responsive pages, REST APIs, secure authentication, and MongoDB-backed features.
