I’m ciborg, I’ve been a London Hackspace member for 3 years; you might know me as the enthusiastic deaf guy asking about your project or tinkering with electronics and rapid prototyping technology in my own quest as a maker. | |||
Over the last 30 years technology has improved the lives of disabled people faster than ever. I’ve engineered pan-European videophone projects for deaf people and for a decade consulted for a deaf charity on leveraging the most out of tech. Working as a London Paralympics technical volunteer truly opened my eyes to how a wider cross-section of society can participate - if there is sufficient access. | |||
The Hackspace enables makers to network, share tools and knowledge. Innovation at the Hackspace can lead to quality of life improvements for disabled people and help everyone reach their full potential, yet this awesome space is not yet accessible to all and I am committed to improving this. | |||
I’m organising a professional accessibility audit and have leads on obtaining funds to remove the remaining barriers. I lead a tour of UK Government & Disability Rights UK delegates around LHS to enable them to understand what we do and show how everyone including the disabled can benefit from hackspaces. | |||
I’m passionate about technology, community and inclusiveness. We all need a little extra help sometimes, and it’s in my heart to enhance the good at London Hackspace. | |||
I'm here to help everyone. I’m ciborg, vote for me and together let’s shape a better future for all. Thank you. | |||
