About Jeff

Building accessible, AI-accelerated experiences one project at a time

I'm Jeff Kazzee—a full-stack developer with epilepsy who treats accessibility as a baseline, not a cherry on top. My sweet spot is building immersive experiences with Next.js, TypeScript, and AI-assisted tooling while documenting everything so other developers can remix the journey.

When I'm not polishing interfaces, I'm writing about accessible design patterns, prototyping with AI copilots, or refining workflows that help neurodiverse developers thrive.

Development philosophy

Great products balance empathy, experimentation, and reliable delivery. These principles guide every feature I build.

Accessibility-first, always

Every design decision is reviewed through an epilepsy-safe lens—no flashing motion, strict color contrast, and thoughtful focus management.

AI-assisted, human-directed

I leverage AI tools to prototype quickly while keeping human judgment for architecture, accessibility, and polish.

Learning in public

Progress is documented through articles, changelogs, and case studies so others can follow along (and learn from the missteps too).

What my workflow looks like

A typical project kicks off with accessibility benchmarks, rapid prototyping, and thoughtful polish. Here's the shell script I lean on to keep quality gates honest.
