About Krushna Chandra Mishra

As a Principal Accessibility Specialist at Ascendion AI, I focus on integrating accessibility best practices across the product lifecycle, ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1/2.2, ADA, and Section 508 standards. With over four months in this role and certifications such as CPACC, WAS, and WCAG, I develop and implement accessibility strategies, deliver training to cross-functional teams, and recommend tools like axe, Lighthouse, and WAVE for seamless auditing and quality assurance. My approach emphasizes collaboration with developers, designers, and content strategists to prioritize inclusive design. Previously, at iCIMS, I built and scaled accessibility governance frameworks for enterprise platforms while coordinating manual and automated accessibility testing. My leadership enabled the integration of accessibility-first principles across the development lifecycle and supported the delivery of compliance documentation. Committed to fostering equitable digital solutions, I aim to empower organizations to create inclusive user experiences that benefit all users.
