- SPEAKERS -

Ryan D'Uva:
Ryan is a Software Developer at The Princeton Review with a primary focus on Front End Development. Her time is dedicated to learning new technologies to produce responsive, engaging & innovative web applications for domestic & international teams at The Princeton Review.

Ryan will present meaningful information on the flow from the Accessibility Tree to Assistive Technology to the End User, the simple code to improve semantics that we overlook in a busy day & how to check your page for opportunities to better your application's accessibility. She believes adding semantics to your applications can truly change a persons life.

Viktoriia Pshenychko:
For the past few years, Viktoriia has helped startup founders take ideas from inception to reality across consumer & enterprise related applications as a product designer. She shares her experience as a resident UI/UX mentor at the Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator - one of the NYC's leading tech accelerators.

Viktoriias main agenda will be around accessible web design, with the main focus being on how to design websites for blind/visually impaired, deaf, disabled or dyslexic visitors. Viktoriia will also address the importance of collaboration between designers, developers, & copywriters in the process of creating accessible websites. Viktoriia supports the sentiment that access to information & communication technologies is a basic human right (The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) & would like to raise awareness on how our jobs affect their lives.
