Documentation that meets accessibility standards does more than check boxes, it empowers every user to engage with your content fully. This talk demystifies the role of guidelines like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) in shaping inclusive documentation. Through real-world examples, we’ll explore practical techniques for structuring information, writing clear instructions, and optimizing digital assets (like images and links) so that users of all abilities can benefit. Attendees will leave with a straightforward approach to building accessibility into their writing process, ensuring no one is left behind.

Hello! I am Kalyani, your friendly Red Hatter during the day. I am a Technical Writer at Red Hat, where my journey began as an intern. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working on a variety of projects, from Red Hat Middleware products to my current focus on Red Hat OpenShift Serverless and Serverless Logic. I thrive on simplifying complex technical concepts and making them accessible through clear, precise documentation. Beyond my role at Red Hat, I actively participate in global tech events such as Google DevFest, Devconf, Cloud Native Day, and Red Hat DevNation Day, often taking on leadership roles in content creation and outreach. I'm constantly learning and experimenting with new tools and methodologies, as I believe continuous improvement is key to staying ahead in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
When I’m not writing, I’m diving deep into my love for space exploration as a huge space enthusiast. I also write blogs on interesting technical and non-technical topics that spark my curiosity. A longtime fan of Disney cartoons and animation, I find inspiration in creativity and storytelling, which reflects in both my writing and my approach to problem-solving.
I am a Technical Writer passionate about simplifying complex concepts and making technology accessible to all. With a background in technical documentation and a flair for user-centric content, I focus on bridging the gap between engineering and end users.
