Michael Doise. Michael joined the WayAround team last fall as our Mobile Accessibility Developer. Michael works on both the iOS and Android versions of the WayAround app. One of the many ways I’ve really come to rely on Michael is that’s he has a finger on the pulse of both technology and accessibility. What new accessibility features are coming and how can they be incorporated into the WayAround app? What mainstream features can be really beneficial for our users? What’s the latest and greatest with NFC? And like our cofounders, Michael uses WayAround to make his own home more accessible.
