a11y-maturity-model's Introduction

Hi there ๐Ÿ‘‹

my name is Bogdan Cerovac.

๐Ÿ“ซ You can reach me by e-mail, on Twitter or on LinkedIn

If not for others - be egoistic - do it for yourself - make it as accessible as possible. Some day you might appreciate it as well.

Some facts about me:

  • Iโ€™m currently working as front-end developer and web accessibility lead for ItumX AS but this is my private repo.
  • I'm also a recent sole enterpreneur / independant consultant behind IDEA lab (Inclusion Diversity Equity and Accessibility).
  • I'm volunteering as Head of the expert council at The Institute for Digital Accessibility A11Y.si,
  • Iโ€™m trying to be a better team player, student, teacher, lecturer and mentor teaching people around me about accessibility, front-end, SEO and all that has to do with the web.
  • I'm trying to learn more about disabilities and accessibility, both very wide and deep subjects at the same time - with a goal to make digital products that work for as much people as possible.
  • Iโ€™m always learning more about web technologies in general as the changes and advancement in the field does not sleep and I โค WEB & I would โค A11y will be more embraced, respected and integrated in the future.
  • I also like to think and blog on accessibility, from theoretical to practical aspects of it.
  • Iโ€™m Web Accessibility Specialist certified by the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP).
  • I was a Mobile Web Specialist certified by Google but they discontinued the certification (it was a true hands-on coding exam with real world problems that had to be solved by coding in 4 hours frame, so not your typical A/B/C/D multiple choices lottery).
  • I stil like to play - I used to play a lot of Sid Meier's Civilization (TM), but now I love to play with Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Augmented and Virtual reality and sometimes even with some Arduinos, Particles, NodeMCU's and ATTiny85's.
