Accessibility tooling
I build and document access technology for complex creative software, with a focus on clear feedback, keyboard-friendly workflows, and tools that blind and low-vision creators can actually use.

Max for Live accessibility tool
Clip Announcer reads the current clip context in Ableton Live and speaks a deterministic summary using macOS text-to-speech.
It was built for moments when visual clip highlighting and dense session layouts do not provide enough usable feedback for screen-reader-based workflows. The device speaks track, slot, and state information on demand so Session View is easier to navigate without relying on sight.
Accessibility tooling is still a personal priority for me. I treat it as systems work: observe where feedback fails, make state legible, reduce fragile workarounds, and keep the tool close to the real workflow.
My broader research site now leads with AI safety, accessibility, and infrastructure, but this page is the landing space for people specifically looking for my access technology work.
