Strategic Engineering for Digital Equity.

I use automation built from 30 years of hands on IT experience to deliver high quality accessibility compliance without the usual overhead. The system handles large scale analysis and auditing. I handle the strategy, making sure every decision meets legal and technical standards.

This approach is faster, more accurate, and more efficient. It means better results for the organizations we support and better access for the people who rely on them.

This is a simpler, smarter way to deliver digital accessibility.

Bridging the Digital Divide with 30+ Years of IT Excellence

Since 1990, I have worked in Information Technology as both a professional and someone who depends on it every day. Over three decades, I have built my career as a programmer and IT Director by solving complex problems. But for me, accessibility is not just theory. It is personal.

Living with speech and motor challenges has shown me how often technology shuts people out. I have experienced the frustration of websites that are not built for everyone. I have also spent years finding ways to fix those gaps.

My recovery focused on speech, so writing and typing challenges were often overlooked. That experience shaped how I see accessibility today. It is not just about compliance. It is about making sure people are not left behind.

At AccessReady.net, I combine technical expertise with AI to make digital spaces accessible. We help public facing organizations, including schools and medical practices, meet 2027 ADA and Unruh Act requirements.

We fix missing image descriptions, improve keyboard navigation, and convert inaccessible documents into usable formats. The goal is simple. Make sure every user can access your website.
