Hi, I’m Simon, a developer from Kaiserslautern, Germany. I work at DeepL on breaking down language barriers. Accessibility is a particular interest of mine, because we should bring everyone along in that process.
I like hiking in the beautiful Pfälzerwald and, these days, also enjoy playing the flute, editing the magazine of a historical board game society, and strolling across Tamriel as my Khajiit.

Your UI Is Not My UI

After six interviews with people with disabilities about their daily struggles and opportunities they see in AI, it became clear that while standards and patterns have brought accessibility far, there are hard limits on how well one interface can adapt for all users.This led us to a different approach: instantly generated UI based on personal needs and context. Not adapting one interface, but exploring what AI makes possible when launching an app takes the same time as creating one on-the-fly.
