I'm looking for a full-time role in digital accessibility.
What I'm best at is finding problems with a screen reader, explaining them so a product or engineering team can act on them, and checking that the fix actually works.
Where I fit best
Accessibility testing and QA
Manual testing of websites, apps, SaaS, and native software with VoiceOver, keyboard navigation, and accessibility inspection tools.
Technical accessibility analysis
Reproducible findings with the user impact, the likely cause in the code, and acceptance criteria your engineers can check against.
Product accessibility and training
Helping product, design, engineering and support teams understand accessibility well enough to make their own decisions about it.
What I bring
I use VoiceOver every day, and I spent five years at Apple.
At Apple I helped customers with every level of technical experience and taught Today at Apple accessibility sessions. That's where I learned to track down a problem and explain it to the person who has to fix it.
Working strengths
- VoiceOver, keyboard-only, JAWS, and NVDA testing
- Accessible names, roles, states, focus, and navigation
- HTML, ARIA, DOM, and accessibility-tree inspection
- Clear bug reports and prioritized findings
- Cross-functional communication and live demonstrations
How I work with technical teams
I understand code well enough to read it, follow the logic, and know what the result should be for a screen reader. I don't hand-write production code. What I'm good at is working out how something should behave, directing the build, pushing back when it's wrong, testing every version, and deciding whether it's actually usable.
On a team, I'm strongest as the person who finds the barrier, makes it reproducible, hands engineers a useful path forward, and confirms the fix actually works.
Examples of my work
Web accessibility finding
A screen reader bug I checked in the code, with a specific fix and a way to test it.
iOS blocker analysis
An iPhone app VoiceOver can't read at all, and how much Apple's Screen Recognition does and doesn't make up for it.
Technical accessibility prototype
A Mac app I worked out and tested that gives VoiceOver a way to reach controls it can't see.
If your team is hiring for this, I'd like to talk.
Full-time roles are the priority. I also consider well-scoped contract work.
