About

I'm a developer focused on building tools and solutions for the visually impaired community. As someone who is visually impaired myself, I understand firsthand the challenges we face with technology and I'm committed to creating software that makes a real difference.

My work centers on accessibility-first development, screen reader compatibility, and high-contrast interfaces that prioritize function over form.
