Accessibility - Bridge between dream and reality - Daniel Shin
The fast-moving tech world is pushing dreams into reality. It's exciting until dreams turn into nightmares instead of reality. How do we shape our product visions into reality? I think Accessibility in product design can provide some hope.

A World Without Limits: Making Videos Accessible to All with React and Cloudflare - Pillippa Pérez Pons
In an increasingly connected world, access to content in multiple languages is essential for inclusion and diversity. For many, especially those whose native language is not English, finding accessible content can be a significant challenge. This talk will address how to overcome these barriers using modern and accessible technologies.
"A World Without Limits: Making Videos Accessible to All with React and Cloudflare" will explore the creation of a video platform that offers pre-generated multilingual subtitles. Using React for the user interface, Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare Stream, and Cloudflare Workers along with AI technologies for language detection and translation, we will share how to build a solution that truly makes video content accessible to everyone.

Originally from Chile, I have been living in the Bay Area for the past three years, embracing the vibrant tech community here.
Volunteering and community involvement are core to who I am.
