About

With over 5 years at Boehringer Ingelheim, and 20+ years of frontend development before that, I contribute to the implementation of accessible and maintainable e-health applications. My work focuses on frontend research, architecture, and prototyping using frameworks like React, Svelte and HTMx, while ensuring compliance with WCAG standards. As a Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competency (IAAP CPACC), I lead a global web accessibility community and collaborate closely with UX and design teams to integrate accessible solutions into enterprise products. My goal is to enable inclusive digital experiences that align with the needs of users and businesses alike.
