PROFILE
Alastair Campbell
Worked on the w3c/wcag repository to deliver five targeted accessibility and documentation features over five months, focusing on improving clarity and usability for both developers and end users. Enhanced WCAG documentation by refining terminology, clarifying guidance on focus management and redundant data entry, and introducing the H99 Page-Selection Advisory Technique for digital publications. Collaborated with team members to update HTML and JavaScript components, ensuring alignment with accessibility standards such as WCAG and WCAG Understanding documents. Emphasized precise technical writing, versioning clarity, and low-risk, incremental changes using HTML, JavaScript, and Markdown to support better onboarding and accessibility compliance.
