Note to PR folks: I'm not the InfoQ.com editor named Matt Campbell. Please don't email me about your upcoming press release. If anyone knows a better way to clear up this confusion, please contact me.<p>I'm a software developer specializing in accessibility for blind and visually impaired people. From mid-2017 to late 2020, I worked for Microsoft on the Windows accessibility team, though my comments were always my own opinion posted on my own initiative.<p>I'm legally blind myself; I have enough sight to read a desktop computer screen up close with slightly enlarged fonts, but I often use a screen reader when browsing the Web, doing email, and other tasks that don't involve code. (Don't get me wrong; totally blind people can program, but I never got used to doing it that way myself.)<p>Of course, there's more to me than visual impairment. When it comes to programming, I'm also particularly interested in the challenges of developing cross-platform applications that integrate smoothly with the host platform. Outside of programming, I love music and love to sing. Pre-COVID, I often did karaoke (of course, I memorize the words). And like many nerds, I read science fiction.<p>Email: mattcampbell@pobox.com<p>Twitter: @mw_campbell<p>Blog: http://mwcampbell.us/blog/<p>Location: Wichita, Kansas, US<p>[ my public key: https://keybase.io/mwcampbell; my proof: https://keybase.io/mwcampbell/sigs/9sbxkfOoTyW6C8IiDB50bP_ZWa-V73AfbdmvUlfOKe8 ]
