Responsible for...
Creating, testing, & maintaining software
in a usable, secure, privacy focused, responsive, scalable, testable, maintainable, performant, efficient, resilient, safe, accessible, and 100+ manner
Need to learn...
Want...
Priority, process, simple
Workflow management
Engineers

How do you talk about accessibility?
Compliance? 'extra' work?
