Why I Care About Accessibility
I believe the internet should be usable and welcoming for everyone, not just those who experience it in typical ways. Accessibility isn’t just a checklist — it’s an essential part of good design, good development, and good citizenship online. I’ve seen firsthand how often accessibility is treated as an afterthought, and I’m committed to making it a priority from the beginning of any project I touch. Building an inclusive web means being thoughtful about every detail: structure, semantics, interaction, and clarity.
How I Approach Accessibility Challenges
When facing a user experience or accessibility challenge, I start by gathering context through user interviews, analytics, and stakeholder feedback to understand the problem from multiple angles. I look for barriers to access and engagement, particularly for users relying on assistive technologies. I prioritize changes that improve clarity, reduce friction, and increase accessibility, even when working within existing designs. My development decisions are grounded in semantic structure, usability best practices, and continuous testing, and I advocate for iterative improvements based on real user data. I believe developers play an essential role in shaping inclusive, user-centered experiences through every technical choice we make.
