👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Polizzotto is a software engineer with nine years of technical experience and a deep background in accessibility and education, now building product at Horizon3.ai. He transitioned from nearly two decades of teaching and accessibility roles—developing alternative media, assistive-technology training, and curriculum—to full‑stack development after completing a UNC Chapel Hill coding bootcamp. At Berkeley and multiple community colleges he designed accessible content (braille, DAISY, MathML, tactile graphics) and trained users on tools like JAWS and Kurzweil, a practical perspective he now applies to inclusive software development. Based in Cary, NC, Joseph blends pedagogy, accessibility expertise, and hands‑on engineering to make systems more usable for diverse users, and he brings a rare educator’s patience to complex technical problems.
