Background

About Roy Barber

At Happydance, my role as Head of Development merges engineering prowess with a steadfast commitment to customer success, underpinned by the principles of the 'Defenders of Happiness' ethos. Our work is not just about building systems; it's about creating experiences that resonate with users, achieved through seamless collaboration across design, development, and DevOps teams. My expertise in front-end technologies, particularly full stack javascript, and a deep understanding of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), has been instrumental in steering innovative solutions and fostering a culture of efficiency. With a professional membership from IAAP, I uphold the highest standards of accessibility, ensuring our products are inclusive and empower a diverse user base. I've previously worked on various enterprise eCommerce & CMS transformation projects for clients including BAE systems, Castrol, Karndean, The Wine Society, NMC, Co-Operative Car Insurance, GoCompare, eduly®, Arco and many more. Currently studying accessibility in Ai and how Artificial intelligence can be inclusive and accessible by all.
