The iteration and collaboration will have contributed to a unified vision of accessible and usable products.\nYou have built extensive connections with the accessibility and developer communities through meetups, community events, conferences, writing articles, and crafting examples, in order to spread the good word to get others passionate about harnessing your thought leadership, and applying it to their work.
