What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead enterprise accessibility initiatives—running WCAG/Section 508 audits, driving remediation through Agile SDLC, producing VPAT/ACR evidence, and partnering with engineering, UX, and QA to strengthen compliance adoption.

I’m a Senior Accessibility Consultant with 8+ years of experience driving accessibility compliance and inclusive digital transformation across enterprise web, desktop, mobile, and SaaS platforms. My focus is practical, standards-driven delivery—WCAG 2.2/2.1, Section 508, ADA, and WAI-ARIA—backed by assistive technology testing and clear audit artifacts.

I’ve delivered 150+ enterprise accessibility audits, reduced recurring accessibility defects by 40%, and improved compliance adoption from 65% to 90%. I collaborate closely with global engineering, UX, QA, and product teams to embed accessibility into Agile SDLC, while developing VPATs/ACRs and mentoring testers through accessibility enablement sessions.
