Welcome

My name is Ashley Sheridan. I'm an engineering manager, full stack web developer, accessibility blogger and orator, dad of the most energetic boys in existence, and toy-fixer extraordinaire.

I operated as the web team lead and accessibility expert at Livedrive. I also write quite extensively in my blog about web accessibility, and have created various accessibility tools such as a HTML tag picker tool, and an accessibility checklist tool to help development at various stages. I do give presentations, and if you would like me to present or consult, please contact me to arrange something suitable.
