<div>Hello!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My name's Ritchie. I have recently joined up with the KDE
e.V. as an Accessibility Engineer, and wanted to formally
introduce myself on the mailing list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am 23-year-old a legally blind programmer and game
developer. I taught myself to program at the age of 10 after
my diagnosis, as computers became an extremely important part
of my life. Gamedev is how I express myself creatively, but
software accessibility is extremely important to me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I use KDE Plasma on my daily system as I find it to be the
best desktop environment to use with my vision loss. Kwin is
currently the best implementation of a screen magnifier on
multiple monitors, including compared to proprietary tools.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some of you may have already seen me on the KDE Matrix, and
on KDE Invent working on Kwin, NeoChat, KTextEditor, and my
own KCM for gaming mice. I intend to continue that work, and
to improve general accessibility across all of KDE. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I likely won't be directly active on this mailing list,
because email is not the most accessible for me. I am however
reachable on Matrix (@ritchie:<a
href="http://matrix.acidiclight.dev" moz-do-not-send="true">matrix.acidiclight.dev</a>)
in the KDE rooms if anyone would like to say hi. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>See you guys around!</div>
