Geza L.
Last position:
UX Strategist & AI App Developer (AI-assisted App Strategy) at Own Projects (Nutrycoach.ai, LuxuryBandit)
Conceptualizing and developing AI-powered app MVPs from the first idea to a working product. I combine UX strategy with modern AI and no-code tools — especially Claude and Claude Code, where I work directly in the terminal on real code (React, Vite), complemented by Figma, Bolt.new, and Base44 — to quickly validate and build product ideas. Personal platforms: Nutrycoach.ai (AI nutrition coaching with role-based dashboards for clients, coaches, and admins, AI meal analysis, and a scalable design system) and LuxuryBandit (content/creator app). This led to my own practice 'AI-assisted App Strategy', which combines human creativity, UX logic, and intelligent automation.

About the technology
What BITV covers
BITV is short for the German Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung. It defines accessibility requirements for public digital services in Germany and is closely aligned with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and EN 301 549. Specialists use it to assess whether websites, mobile applications and downloadable documents can be used by people with different disabilities.
Digital accessibility work
BITV projects turn accessibility requirements into practical changes across design, content and technology. Typical deliverables include:
- Accessibility audits for websites, portals and mobile applications
- Reviews of keyboard use, focus order, forms and navigation
- Testing with screen readers, magnification and voice input
- Accessible PDFs, editorial workflows and content patterns
- Accessibility statements and remediation plans
Standards and tooling
Strong BITV professionals understand the relationship between BITV 2.0, EN 301 549 and WCAG success criteria. They work with browser inspection tools, automated scanners and manual testing rather than treating an automated report as a complete assessment. They may also bring expertise in semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive design and accessible component libraries.
When companies need specialists
Companies often bring in freelance expertise before launching a public service, during a redesign or after users report barriers. Berlin organisations working with public administration, education, transport, healthcare or civic services may need an independent view of accessibility obligations and delivery risks. Specialists can also support teams that need practical guidance without replacing their product or engineering staff.
From audit to remediation
A useful engagement starts by defining the user journeys, technologies and content types in scope. The specialist then combines automated checks, manual keyboard review, assistive technology testing and user-centred evaluation. Findings should explain the barrier, affected users, relevant requirement, severity and a clear route to correction. Follow-up testing confirms that changes work in the real interface.
What strong professionals bring
Look for evidence of completed BITV assessments, not only familiarity with accessibility terminology. A strong professional can explain technical findings to product, design, editorial and legal stakeholders, prioritise issues by user impact and validate fixes. For Berlin teams, remote delivery is often practical, while workshops, content reviews and stakeholder sessions can also take place on site; clear German communication may matter for public-sector documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about BITV? Start with the answers below.
BITV is used to define accessibility expectations for digital services provided by public bodies in Germany. It helps organisations evaluate websites, applications, documents and related content so that people with disabilities can access and operate them.
BITV 2.0 applies German requirements for accessible information technology and connects closely with EN 301 549 and WCAG criteria. A specialist should map the applicable requirements to the actual service rather than treating a WCAG checklist as a complete legal or technical assessment.
A BITV specialist can review websites, service portals, mobile applications, PDFs, video content and editorial processes. The scope may include keyboard operation, focus handling, headings, forms, colour contrast, screen-reader output, error messages and accessible alternatives.
A strong BITV freelancer often combines accessibility testing with semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive interfaces and design-system work. Experience with screen readers, browser tools, automated testing, content management systems and accessible PDF production is also useful.
The right level depends on the service, its audience, technology stack and risk. For a focused review, a specialist with hands-on audit and remediation experience may be sufficient; a complex public portal usually benefits from someone who can coordinate testing, documentation and follow-up across several teams.
Yes, much of a BITV engagement can be completed remotely through repository access, staging environments, testing sessions and video workshops. On-site meetings in Berlin can still help with stakeholder alignment, user research or content-team training, especially when German-language documentation is required.
A quality BITV audit identifies reproducible barriers, affected user groups, relevant requirements and practical remediation steps. Ask whether the specialist combines automated checks with keyboard, manual and assistive-technology testing, and whether they offer validation after fixes.
BITV compliance and genuine accessibility overlap, but a checklist alone does not guarantee a usable experience. Effective work also considers real user journeys, content quality, interaction design, assistive technologies and whether recurring accessibility practices are built into delivery.
