I’ve spent over 20 years working in the software industry and contributing to open source projects. I started exploring vision accessibility to manage my own ADHD struggles with vision over-stimulation thanks to advances in computer screens and increasingly complex user interfaces. Through my role at IBM, I am working with the Oregon Commission for the Blind’s vocational rehabilitation team to advocate for people with blindness in the tech industry.
