Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Devon is a technology entrepreneur and long-time digital accessibility advocate who has spent over three decades shaping inclusive design and developer awareness. He co-founded Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) in 2011 and led the GAAD Foundation as Chair, now serving as Immediate Past Chair while remaining actively involved in its mission to embed accessibility into product lifecycles. Founder of A11y Audits, Joe consults on accessibility audits, VPATs, and AI-for-accessibility strategies, blending hands-on technical guidance with nonprofit leadership. He also co-hosts the Accessibility & Gen. AI podcast, exploring how generative AI reshapes accessibility practices, and has advised startups and universities on accessibility and tech strategy. A seasoned meetup and community organizer, he has a history of founding CTO-focused networks and convening developer communities from LA to Las Vegas. Less obvious: Joe peppers his direct, no-nonsense outreach with offbeat humor (he jokes about being “born on Klingon”), reflecting a candid communication style that cuts through corporate politeness to get things done.
