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
Understanding Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. These international standards ensure that websites, mobile applications, and digital documents are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for every user.
Key Compliance Tasks and Deliverables
Implementing these accessibility standards requires systematic testing, code remediation, and strategic planning. Freelance specialists focus on the following key areas:
- Conducting comprehensive accessibility audits against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 guidelines.
- Remediating source code to fix keyboard navigation and focus management issues.
- Writing semantic HTML and implementing accessible rich internet applications markup.
- Training internal design and product teams on inclusive design principles.
The Accessibility Testing Ecosystem
Specialists leverage a mix of automated scanners and manual evaluation tools to verify compliance. They run automated audits using tools like Axe, Lighthouse, and Wave to catch baseline errors quickly. For thorough verification, they perform manual testing using screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, alongside keyboard-only navigation tests.
Why Organizations Bring in External Experts
Many businesses lack the specialized internal knowledge required to interpret complex technical standards. Bringing in a dedicated consultant helps engineering teams avoid common pitfalls and accelerates the path to compliance. This is especially critical for teams facing tight regulatory deadlines or those updating legacy platforms.
Core Skills of a Qualified WCAG Specialist
An expert in digital accessibility must possess deep technical knowledge of assistive technologies and web standards. They bridge the gap between design, engineering, and legal compliance, translating guidelines into actionable code changes. They understand how different browsers and screen readers interact to ensure a consistent user experience.
Compliance Standards in Berlin and Germany
Organizations in Berlin operate under strict regional and national digital accessibility requirements. Public bodies and commercial entities must comply with the German Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung, which directly references European standards. Hiring a local professional ensures your platforms meet these specific regulatory mandates while serving a diverse user base.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about WCAG, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
The WCAG 2.2 standard builds directly on top of WCAG 2.1 by adding new success criteria to improve accessibility for users with cognitive or learning disabilities, low vision, and users of mobile devices. A qualified specialist can help your team transition to these newer criteria, ensuring your digital products remain modern and compliant.
A thorough audit starts with automated testing to catch widespread issues, followed by rigorous manual testing using screen readers and keyboard navigation. The specialist then documents violations against the official Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and provides a prioritized roadmap for code remediation.
With the enforcement of the European Accessibility Act and the German Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz, many companies in Germany face strict legal requirements to make their services accessible. Implementing WCAG standards protects your business from legal risks and ensures you can participate in public sector tenders in Berlin.
No, automated tools typically catch only a minority of accessibility barriers. A certified WCAG professional is required to evaluate complex interactive components, content structure, and screen reader behavior that automated software cannot interpret accurately.
In addition to WCAG knowledge, top professionals are highly proficient in semantic HTML5, CSS layout techniques, and modern JavaScript frameworks. Understanding WAI-ARIA guidelines and assistive software configurations is also critical for implementing sustainable code fixes.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your application and the current state of your code. An experienced WCAG consultant will first conduct a gap analysis to estimate the scope of the remediation work and help your engineering team implement fixes efficiently.
Most WCAG audits and remediation tasks can be performed entirely remote, as experts use cloud-based testing suites and digital screen readers. However, occasional on-site workshops in Berlin can be highly beneficial for aligning development teams and conducting user testing with diverse audiences.
The German BITV 2.0 regulation is aligned with European standards which are heavily based on WCAG requirements. When you hire a professional to achieve compliance with German federal laws, they will use the international guidelines as the core technical benchmark.
