About me
Accessibility is my special interest, everything from easy language to assistive technology. At Hope Tech Plus, we focus on research and development of assistive tech hardware for people living with low vision or blindness.
Together with Google Dev Group Vienna, I host the DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester Study Group.
I also write A11y News, a weekly newsletter about accessibility and inclusion in ICT, for which I am actively looking for guest authors. Topics I would like to cover are:
-
disability support systems around the world
-
everyday working routine of IT professionals with disabilities
-
experiences of disability inclusive leadership
