I'm Mike, also known as "veb". I'm a software developer located in Dunedin. New Zealand, and I'm privileged to work remotely for a remarkable company. My commitment to accessibility (a11y) is deeply personal, as I was born deaf. However, cochlear implant tech basically turned me into a cyborg and I can hear pretty well now. (seriously, CI tech is magic).
I have a LinkedIn - feel free to reach out!
I am really interested in everything to do with AI and ML. Mainly because I believe it can become a great tool in helping people especially in the a11y sense. I've done a lot of wee experiments (automatic captioning, PDF to website, OpenAI GPT bots for NZ Medical System and Mental Health & Disability to help people advocate for themselves in the system - you can have a wee look here: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-AGWKM9CU9-mental-health-ai-nz)
