ngKato 7: Accessibility Driven Development

🖥️ Accessibility Driven Development: Start with A11y, Stay Ahead of Tech Debt

Neglecting an accessibility-first mindset leads to technical debt, maintenance headaches, and poorer UX. Through the story of a developer and a menu component, you’ll see how much work is required when accessibility isn’t baked in from day one. This session blends storytelling with live coding to refactor real code for A11y.

Format: 25% intro + storytelling, 75% live coding

👨‍💻 Adrian Romański

My coding journey began with C++ in high school and robotics studies at PJATK. After early career experiences, I pivoted to web development as a Java/Spring developer—until someone showed me Angular and it was love at first sight. Now I’m a full-stack developer specializing in Component-Driven Architecture with Storybook, accessibility, application optimization, and Nx-based monorepo structures.
