Sound familiar?
- The European Accessibility Act has applied since June 2025, and you need to know what to fix first in your product.
- You're adding AI features and need to meet the AI Act's transparency duties: people must know when they are dealing with an AI system.
- Your stack has to pass a GDPR review: data maps, processor terms, transfers and retention.
- You need senior capacity for a few months without adding headcount.

Contracts and payment
Invoices in euros, per milestone, paid through Wise or Payoneer. I can work under your contract, with a GDPR Article 28 data processing agreement and Standard Contractual Clauses for any transfer of personal data to India.
- Intellectual property is assigned to you on payment.
- An NDA before we discuss details, if you'd like one.
- A written update every week, and a demo whenever there's something to see.
- Working hours that overlap yours.
The rules your product lives under
GDPR
Article 28 governs processors like me; transfers of personal data outside the EU need a mechanism such as the Standard Contractual Clauses.
Source: Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR)
European Accessibility Act
Applies since 28 June 2025 to many consumer-facing digital products and services. The technical benchmark is EN 301 549, which builds on WCAG.
Source: Directive (EU) 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act)
AI Act, Article 50
From 2 August 2026, people must be told when they interact with an AI system, and AI-generated content must be marked as such.

Questions
Can you help us meet the Accessibility Act?
As engineering, yes: an audit against WCAG 2.2 and EN 301 549, a prioritized list of fixes, and the fixes themselves. Your counsel decides what applies to your business.
Is it a problem that you're outside the EU?
Transfers of personal data to India need Standard Contractual Clauses. Where possible I work inside your EU infrastructure, so personal data doesn't leave it at all.
What does the AI Act mean for a chatbot on our site?
From 2 August 2026, users must be told they are talking to an AI system unless that is obvious. It is a small interface change plus a rule to apply it everywhere, and I build both.
Where else to find me
Other markets: United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea.
