Working at the intersection of faith, technology, and disability advocacy.
My work focuses on accessibility as both a technical responsibility and a reflection of care and dignity for all people. Grounded in my experience as a blind, autistic, and chronically ill user, I advocate for systems that are humane, predictable, and inclusive.
What I Focus On #
- Accessibility & Usability Testing: Professional evaluation of software and digital tools, identifying the real-world barriers that automated testing often misses.
- Low-Cognitive-Load Systems: Developing and promoting designs that respect a user’s sensory needs and mental energy.
- Self-Paced Systems Learning: Building technical literacy through Python, Linux systems (openSUSE on WSL), and CLI-driven workflows, with an emphasis on keyboard-centric tools that work with screen readers.
- Faith-Informed Advocacy: Approaching technology and disability rights through a lens of service and spiritual exploration, currently focused on broader Christian history and Gnosticism.
- Documenting Barriers: Writing about recurring accessibility challenges in games and interactive media to help developers build better experiences for multiply disabled players.
