Top SchoolJosé Alcolea is an accessibility consultant and software engineer based in Madrid with 11 years of experience designing inclusive digital solutions and advising organizations on real-world accessibility needs. As president of the Asociación Comunidad Hispanohablante de NVDA he bridges advocacy and practice, bringing the dual perspective of a professional consultant and a totally blind end user to make interfaces truly usable beyond automated checks. He has led accessibility work at Plexus Tech and Laberit, developed assistive learning tools at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, and runs projects like an extensive audiocinemateca of audio-described material. José combines technical credentials (degree and master's in software engineering) with hands-on tiflotechnology instruction and open-source collaboration, favoring pragmatic adaptations that prioritize assistive technologies. His lived experience—included in an 87% disability rating—gives him uncommon empathy and insight into designing for people with disabilities while acknowledging limits in inaccessible visual workflows.
