Scouting report
A blind engineer who has served on the W3C Board of Directors, co-chaired the Web Applications Working Group and worked on the accessibility of HTML, ARIA and the Web Audio API from inside the specs rather than filing bugs from outside. Runs TetraLogical and has spent years teaching developers what their markup actually sounds like.
Curator’s note
Fixed accessibility where it is cheapest to fix: in the spec.
