About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Web Accessibility Specialist and web developer with more than 10 years of experience building, testing, and remediating accessible websites.

I audit live and pre-production websites against WCAG 2.2 A/AA, combining manual testing, assistive technology, browser developer tools, code inspection, and automated checks.

I investigate accessibility barriers from user-facing behaviour to their underlying HTML, CSS/Sass, JavaScript, Razor, and CMS implementations, then implement and validate practical fixes.

I build accessible, responsive web interfaces and reusable components, incorporating accessibility requirements throughout design review, development, QA, remediation, and release validation.

I create Playwright and axe-core regression testing systems that make accessibility checks more repeatable, improve evidence capture, and help prevent regressions.

I also support engineering and QA teams through actionable accessibility guidance, training, defect reporting, and focused retesting procedures.

Career history

Senior Web Developer Radancy

2019 – Present

I conduct accessibility audits of live and pre-production recruitment websites against WCAG 2.2. I combine manual testing, assistive technologies, browser and code inspection, and automated checks to identify barriers in complex interactions, forms, dialogs, navigation, dynamic content, and responsive layouts.

I build and maintain production websites and reusable UI components using HTML, CSS/Sass, JavaScript, Razor, and CMS-driven templates. I investigate and remediate defects in both site-specific and shared platform components, review designs before development, document engineering guidance, and support QA teams with accessibility testing training and retesting procedures.

I developed semantic front-end interfaces with HTML, CSS/Sass, and JavaScript, integrated dynamic content and third-party APIs, and worked across design handover, content integration, browser testing, defect resolution, deployment, and post-launch support.

Freelance Web Developer Client projects / Upwork

2015 – 2017

I delivered complete WordPress websites for clients, taking projects from requirements and design through hosting setup, WordPress installation, theme development, content integration, testing, and deployment.

I customised WordPress themes using PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, configured plugins and third-party integrations, and independently managed domains, hosting, SSL, analytics, troubleshooting, performance checks, maintenance, and post-launch support.
