Biography

With a wide array of experiences involving the development and management of web sites & web based applications, I've done it all - from design, production & programming to consulting, management of development teams & projects to managing the e-commerce efforts of a site which handled $4,000,000 in volume per month.

I've done accessibility and usability evaluation, consulting, and remediation work for everyone from Fortune 50 companies to some of the largest federal government agencies and private sector software vendors in the world.

It is my goal to continue to provide my expertise and guidance to my clients - with an end goal of making the IT landscape more usable and accessible for all.

Managing Accessibility Compliance in the Enterprise

When addressing accessibility compliance, many organizations seem to begin their approach from the wrong direction – that is, when a system has already been designed, developed, and released to the user. Such an approach is often unsuccessful and results in decreased accessibility compliance for the whole organization. Addressing accessibility compliance successfully requires the organization to fully manage their compliance efforts at all stages within their project lifecycle for all projects.
