nickttng/README.md

Greetings Starbeing — I’m Nick Ng (pronounced ‘ing’) and my pronouns are he/him/his. If I could live in any city, it would be pre-Yahoo Geocities.

This README is a work-in-progress, which I hope that it will be useful for anyone who collobrates with me.

  • I work on Login.gov as a UX Ops lead, improving government digital identity experience for the American public
    • Prevously a product design practice lead at 18F
    • Currently, a co-organizer at A11yChi
  • I’m currently thinking about
    • Accessibility challenges and opportunities of biometrics and authenticators
    • Experience of those with non-traditional residencies
    • Omurice, omurice, omurice 🍳🍚🔴

In another dimension where software isn’t digesting the world — career-wise, I would somehow find a way to have a dim sum teahouse / tempura bar in the spirit of Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories.

Disabilities

I am deaf/hard-of-hearing (DHH). Culturally, I identify as Deaf and my primary language is American Sign Language (ASL). Regarding English spoken language, I had speech/auditory training for 15 years and am still struggling to pronounce words from time to time, like “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Also, amblyopia that decreases vision in one of my eyes.
