Judith Lung

Accessibility engineer and tech ghostwriter.

I run an accessibility auditing and developer education practice, helping developer tools and health tech companies find and fix accessibility issues before they become legal or product risks.

I’m a blind screen reader user myself, and that lived experience — combined with a master’s in rehabilitation counseling, a master’s in software engineering, a BA in English from UC Berkeley, and 3.5 years as a software engineer at LinkedIn — shapes how I approach this work. I know firsthand what it costs to navigate an inaccessible product, and what it unlocks when a team gets it right.

Where to find my work

  • A11y Triage — my accessibility auditing and developer education practice for dev tools and health tech companies.
  • A11y Blueprint — a free 5-day email course for startup founders on the deadliest accessibility mistakes that kill deals and slow engineering.
  • A11y Playbook — my weekly writing for accessibility practitioners. Currently I am working on a 35-week self-directed education program in rehabilitation, accessibility, AI, and development. Follow along for free tips I learn and free tools I build along the way.
  • DottedNotes — free open-source software I built that transcribes music to and from MusicXML, Lilypond, and braille (BRF and BRL), dramatically cutting the time and cost for blind composers producing publication-quality scores in braille and print.
  • Stories — my fiction, free to read.
  • Music — some of what I’ve written and mixed.
  • LinkedIn — connect with me professionally.

Outside of work

I write fiction and make music. My goal for next year is a middle-grade mystery novel with an accompanying soundtrack.
