Leading accessibility initiatives wasn’t something I expected when I joined Peloton as a software engineer.
As Engineering Manager for Peloton’s Web Members team, my responsibilities revolve around maintaining and improving the web experience of Members using the Peloton App, which allows you to access Peloton content on your phone, tablet, TV, or the web. Outside of my official role, I’ve also become someone people across the company reach out to with accessibility questions, and am currently Engineering Lead for Peloton’s growing Accessibility and Inclusion workstream, working with teams across the organization to improve the accessibility of products for Members.
I’ll share my journey to these roles, and offer some advice for championing initiatives like accessibility in your company.
