Senior🎓
Top SchoolDjango Doucet is a web developer with 11 years of hands-on experience building accessible, semantic and performant web experiences from Edmonton, Alberta. Currently at CoLab Cooperative, he creates and maintains WordPress sites, custom themes and plugins while managing hosting and integrations with third-party APIs. A polyglot and connector by disposition, he blends frontend accessibility focus with pragmatic backend PHP/JS engineering and operational responsibilities. His open-source QA work on the popular bootstrap-slider project improved ARIA support and test coverage, demonstrating attention to inclusive UX and robust test automation. With a background in sociology and multimedia plus a certificate in IT and software development, he brings a human-centered perspective to technical solutions. He’s equally comfortable debugging multi-handle slider tests as he is translating client needs into maintainable code.

Contributions summary:Django focused on enhancing the accessibility of the bootstrap-slider library. Their contributions included creating tests to verify the correct implementation of `aria-valuetext`, which is used to provide descriptive text for screen readers. They wrote test cases to ensure the `formatter` option correctly sets the `aria-valuetext` attribute, and to handle scenarios where the `formatter` option is not used. They also worked on multi-handle tests and debugging the test environment.
