Writing
Things I have written about building with Disabled people and testing what you build.
What mobile development can learn from Disabled testers (external website)
Twelve Disabled drivers and passengers put Close to the Door through two research phases. What they taught us about navigation, silent failures, text scaling and honest data applies to any mobile team.
Why I built Close to the Door (external website)
Close to the Door is now live. I’m Ryan, a software engineer and Disabled driver — here’s why I built an accessible-parking app for us, and how it came about.
Built with Disabled people: the research and engineering behind our accessible-parking data (external website)
We asked an accessibility consultancy to test Close to the Door with 12 Disabled drivers and passengers across the UK, Ireland and Spain. What they found, what we re-engineered, and why accurate accessibility data matters to councils and businesses.
