Building Accessible Careers
summary
Claims internal tools block hiring and diversity, citing ~61 million US adults (26%) and fewer than one in ten websites accessible; inaccessible CMS or admin tools let employers legally avoid hiring under ADA undue‑hardship rules. Uses Lighthouse and axe-core automated tests (Chrome/Firefox extensions) plugged into unit and end‑to‑end suites, finds many clustered issues; tools reach ~30–50% of compliance. Builds fixes like replacing divs with buttons and semantic tags, focuses on reusable components, and require accessibility check on pull requests to incrementally make workflows and hiring accessible.
