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 WCAG covers
WCAG, or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, is the international framework for making websites, web apps and digital content more usable for people with disabilities. It covers perceivable, operable, understandable and robust experiences across browsers, devices and assistive technologies. Its success criteria address areas such as keyboard access, headings, contrast, captions, focus management and clear error messages.
Standards and versions
WCAG is maintained by the W3C and is commonly discussed through its conformance levels, including Level AA. Strong specialists understand how WCAG requirements relate to the Web Accessibility Initiative, Accessible Rich Internet Applications and accessibility legislation in the markets a company serves. They also distinguish a formal conformance review from broader usability work with disabled users.
Where it is used
WCAG expertise supports digital products in public services, finance, healthcare, education, retail and enterprise software. Companies bring in specialists for:
- Auditing responsive websites, mobile experiences and authenticated applications
- Reviewing design systems, content workflows and component libraries
- Testing keyboard navigation, screen reader output, focus order and forms
- Creating remediation plans with clear ownership and acceptance criteria
- Preparing accessibility statements and evidence for release decisions
Tools and adjacent skills
Practical work combines manual assessment with tools such as axe, Lighthouse, WAVE, browser accessibility trees and screen readers including NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver. Specialists often work closely with semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ARIA, frontend frameworks, UX research, content design and quality assurance. Knowledge of automated testing pipelines helps teams catch regressions before deployment.
When companies need help
Freelance expertise is valuable when a product is being redesigned, a procurement review is approaching or accessibility defects are blocking release. It also helps when internal teams receive inconsistent audit findings or cannot turn WCAG success criteria into development tasks. In Berlin, specialists may support local product teams on site or collaborate remotely with distributed design and engineering groups; clear English or German communication should be agreed early.
What strong specialists deliver
A strong professional explains the user impact behind each finding instead of producing an unprioritized defect list. They test with different interaction methods, verify fixes in realistic flows and separate genuine barriers from tool noise. Look for accessible sample reports, careful evidence, experience with the product’s stack and a process that includes designers, content teams and technical owners.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about WCAG, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
WCAG is used to define and assess accessibility requirements for websites, web applications and digital content. It helps teams identify barriers affecting people who use keyboards, screen readers, magnification, voice control or other assistive technologies.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are a set of requirements, not a testing tool. Automated checks can detect issues such as missing labels or insufficient contrast, but specialists must also review keyboard behavior, focus, reading order, wording and real user flows.
A strong WCAG specialist usually understands semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ARIA and browser behavior. Experience with design systems, screen readers, manual testing, accessibility-focused UX research and issue tracking makes the recommendations easier to apply.
The right level of WCAG experience depends on the product’s scope, technology and risk. A focused audit may need a reviewer who can assess key journeys, while a redesign or remediation program benefits from someone who can guide design, content and delivery teams through the full product lifecycle.
Yes, WCAG assessments can usually be performed remotely when the specialist receives staging access, design files, user journeys and issue-management access. On-site workshops in Berlin can help align product teams, while remote collaboration works well with structured reviews and recorded findings.
A WCAG audit should explain each barrier, the affected user experience, the relevant success criterion and a practical route to remediation. Useful deliverables include tested journeys, evidence such as screenshots or recordings, severity guidance and a retest process.
Ask a WCAG professional how they combine automated tools, manual keyboard checks, screen reader testing and user-centered reasoning. Review a sample finding and check whether it is specific, reproducible, technically accurate and understandable to both product owners and implementation teams.
WCAG conformance provides a structured baseline, but it does not guarantee that every person can use a product comfortably. Strong accessibility work also considers disabled users’ feedback, plain language, task context, cognitive load, performance and the quality of the overall interaction.
