Advancing Digital Accessibility Through Research & Consulting

Hi, my name is Ilia. I'm an Accessibility Specialist, Researcher, and Consultant dedicated to advancing inclusive design through evidence-based research and practical implementation.

I work with organizations to conduct accessibility research, provide strategic consulting, and implement inclusive solutions across web, mobile, and emerging technologies. My expertise spans accessibility audits, policy development, and training programs that drive meaningful change.

I’m currently based in Porto, Portugal - open to consulting.

My expertise includes:
– Conducting comprehensive accessibility audits and compliance assessments
– Developing accessibility strategies and implementation roadmaps
– Training teams on inclusive design principles and WCAG guidelines
– Creating accessibility policies and governance frameworks
– Building inclusive design systems and component libraries

I'm particularly passionate about emerging accessibility research, inclusive AI and machine learning, assistive technology innovation, and the intersection of accessibility with emerging technologies - exploring how we can create more equitable digital experiences for all users.

I believe accessibility is fundamental to ethical design and business success. Through research-driven insights and evidence-based practices, we can create digital experiences that are not only compliant but truly inclusive and empowering for all users.

If you're looking to improve your organization's accessibility posture, need research insights, or want to discuss inclusive design strategies - I'd love to hear from you: <hello@devxom.me>
