Creating apps that everyone can use, regardless of ability.
As an iOS Engineer at Apple, I work on accessibility features that millions of people with disabilities rely on every day. I specialize in VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and other assistive technologies that make Apple devices usable for everyone. With 20+ patents in accessible interface design, I'm dedicated to proving that good design is accessible design. My work sits at the intersection of engineering and empathy.
My Story
I became passionate about accessibility after watching my grandmother struggle to use her iPhone due to vision problems. She wanted to FaceTime with her grandkids, read the news, and stay connected, but the tiny text and touch targets made it nearly impossible. I remember spending hours helping her, wishing the technology was better. That experience drove me to specialize in making technology usable for everyone, not just those with perfect vision and steady hands.
At Apple, I now work on the very features that could have helped my grandmother. I've contributed to VoiceOver improvements, designed new accessibility APIs, and filed patents for interfaces that adapt to users' abilities. The most rewarding part of my job isn't the technical challenges—it's the emails from users telling me how our work has changed their lives. A blind photographer who uses VoiceOver to edit photos. A person with tremors who can finally text their family. Technology should be for everyone, and I'm honored to help make that vision a reality.
