Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Joe
European and Dutch organizations are already failing to comply with the EAA. The law is in effect, enforcement is active, and most teams still don't know where their biggest risks lie.
I am a digital accessibility consultant based in Leiden. I perform WCAG 2.2 AA audits, EAA compliance assessments, and ADA remediation for organizations in the Netherlands, the rest of Europe, and the US. Before starting my own practice, I spent six years implementing and enforcing accessibility compliance at a New York State government agency; real audits, real remediation, real accountability to the regulations.
What I deliver is practical, not theoretical. You will get prioritized findings, annotated screenshots, and ready-to-implement code solutions for your development team. No jargon. No "accessibility theater." Just a clear view of where you stand and exactly what to tackle first.
I work with teams in education, healthcare, e-commerce, SaaS, and government, typically ranging from 5 to 500 employees, who need to close compliance gaps without slowing down delivery.
If your website, app, or documents haven't been checked for WCAG 2.2 or the EAA, now is the time. Send me a message, and let's connect.
