Oskar Oldorf (project lead): "I had the pleasure of working with Patricia for over a year on a project focused on ensuring digital accessibility for the online presence of a company in the financial services sector. During that time, I got to know her as a dedicated, detail-oriented, and highly skilled colleague.
Patricia was responsible for independently conducting gap analyses and worked directly and efficiently with key stakeholders. Her role centered on assessing compliance with the BFSG and providing strategic guidance to editorial teams on creating accessible content.
What I particularly appreciated about Patricia was her ability to think beyond the status quo and bring fresh perspectives to the table. She combines strong subject matter expertise with a keen eye for detail and a structured, thorough approach. Her input often sparked valuable discussions and helped us move our work forward in meaningful ways.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Patricia—especially for roles where precision, strategic thinking, and a high standard of quality are essential."

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 Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung, Germany’s regulation for accessible information technology. It sets accessibility expectations for public-sector websites, mobile applications and digital documents, with requirements closely aligned to WCAG. Companies often refer to the current framework as BITV 2.0.
Where it is used
BITV expertise supports digital services that must be usable by people with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive disabilities. Typical work includes:
- Auditing public websites and online portals
- Reviewing mobile applications and downloadable documents
- Testing forms, navigation, media and authentication flows
- Preparing accessibility statements and remediation plans
Standards and tooling
Strong specialists connect BITV requirements with WCAG success criteria, EN 301 549 and practical accessibility testing. They use keyboard-only checks, screen readers, browser inspection tools, automated scanners and manual review. Common tools include axe, Lighthouse, WAVE, NVDA and VoiceOver, selected according to the product and target users.
When companies need support
Companies bring in freelance BITV specialists before a public launch, during a redesign or after an accessibility complaint. They also help when internal teams need an independent audit, a clear backlog or support interpreting requirements for German public-sector work. In Germany, collaboration may involve German-language documentation and coordination with legal, product and content teams.
What the work delivers
A BITV engagement can produce an accessibility audit, issue register, annotated test evidence, accessible design guidance and a prioritised remediation plan. Specialists may also review HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PDF files, content structures and design systems. The best scope combines automated checks with manual testing by experienced users of assistive technology.
Strong specialist profile
Reliable professionals understand both the regulation and the product behind it. They explain the impact of defects in plain language, distinguish blocking barriers from minor findings and provide reproducible steps for correction. Look for experience with WCAG mapping, semantic markup, keyboard interaction, focus management, alternative text, captions and accessible documents.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about BITV? Start with the answers below.
BITV is used to define accessibility requirements for public-sector websites, applications and digital documents in Germany. It helps organisations make services perceivable, operable, understandable and compatible with assistive technologies.
BITV 2.0 applies accessibility requirements that are closely based on WCAG and linked with the European accessibility framework. A specialist maps findings to the relevant criteria and explains what must change in the product, content or process.
A strong Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung specialist usually combines accessibility auditing with semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive design and content structure. Knowledge of PDF accessibility, design systems, screen readers and EN 301 549 is also valuable.
The right level depends on scope, risk and the systems being reviewed. A focused audit may need a specialist with strong testing skills, while a complex public portal benefits from someone who can lead remediation, advise product teams and validate fixes across releases.
BITV audits can often be completed remotely when the specialist has secure access to the relevant environments, documents and test accounts. On-site workshops can still help with stakeholder alignment, especially when teams prefer German-language sessions or need close collaboration with public-sector partners.
A BITV review is anchored in Germany’s regulatory context and is especially relevant to public-sector digital services. A general accessibility audit may use WCAG as its main reference but can lack the documentation, interpretation and German compliance focus needed for a BITV engagement.
A professional BITV 2.0 audit checks keyboard access, focus order, headings, labels, colour contrast, error handling, alternative text, captions, responsive behaviour and assistive-technology compatibility. It should combine automated analysis with manual tests and clear evidence for each finding.
Ask how the specialist maps findings to BITV and WCAG criteria, which manual tests they perform and how they support remediation. High-quality work includes reproducible evidence, practical recommendations, prioritisation and a follow-up validation process rather than a scanner report alone.
