Conversations around web accessibility
I’m a front-end developer here at Shopify. I’ve recently started working here, and I say recently as in two years ago because it just feels like a short amount of time, given so many things that happen when you change country. I’m originally from Brazil. And yeah, I’ve been involved into accessibility really early on in my career here at Shopify, given that I found some space to do so. And been enjoying a lot making sure that not only I have this always in the back of my head, but also like educating some people here.
This week, we continue the conversation with Arthur Gouveia. Just as exciting as last week!
One of the things that many people talk about is the idea that the word “accessibility” is passé. Arthur doesnt’necessarily agree. He thinks that changing the word to describe what we do won’t fix anything, it’ll create the same stresses we’re finding now.
This week, I’m talking with Arthur Gouveia, a front-end developer at Shopify. Arthur discovered accessibility and is working hard to implement it at Shopify.
