Biography

My background is with open source and digital accessibility. That said, there is a lot of overlap between building a quality site for inclusion and sustainability. I am a Drupal Core Accessibility Maintainer and also a contributor to the W3C's SustyWeb community. I contributed to both Tim Frick's book Designing for Sustainability and in the Sustainable Web Manifesto. I believe strongly in progress over perfection.
