Hi there, Ilia (pronounced: Ilía)

Inclusive interface specialist building accessible, future-friendly UI systems across web, game, and terminal platforms. Based in Portugal. Open to remote work, consulting, and relocation for onsite roles in the US, Canada, UK, and EU.

I'm a developer, accessibility consultant, and UX designer focused on building thoughtful, inclusive, and maintainable user interfaces. My work spans the web, terminal, and game engines, with a strong foundation in systems thinking, accessibility, and future interaction design.

What I Do

• Build accessible UI components for web, games, and terminal UIs
• Design and implement design systems and component frameworks
• Perform accessibility testing and audits to improve real-world usability
• Guide and mentor teams in accessibility and developer experience
• Contribute to education, development, and training processes around a11y and UI practices
• Write and contribute to specifications and developer experience tooling
• Lead projects across frontend, game development, and accessibility domains
• Build DX-focused automation to improve workflows and team velocity

Interests

• Accessibility in modern interfaces and interaction patterns
• Designing systems and tools that offer meaningful experiences — from narrative-driven game mechanics to calm, focused interaction
• Techno-positivism: exploring how tools, environments, and AI shift how we think, create, and connect
• Interfaces of interaction across tools, systems, and personalities — both current and emerging
• Unconventional input methods, from old hardware to speculative controls — anything that extends how people (and others) relate to tech and the world

Philosophy

• Accessibility is not an add-on. It is a core part of good UI and UX design
• Simplicity and clarity scale better than complexity
• Interfaces should serve everyone, with empathy and precision

Contact

I’m open to:

• Long-term roles with a strong focus on accessibility, systems design, and developer experience
• Short-term consulting, audits, or side projects that align with my interests and values
• Remote or onsite opportunities (relocation possible for the right fit)
