Hello! I am Burt Lao. Since 1990, I have worked in Information Technology as a programmer, systems engineer, and IT Director. I build high-availability backend microservices, secure database pipelines, and accessible user interfaces.

But for me, accessibility is not just theory. It is personal. Living with speech and motor challenges has shown me how often technology shuts people out, and my own recovery journey highlighted how typing and writing challenges are frequently overlooked. This has shaped how I build digital spaces—not just for checkboxes, but for true inclusion.

At AccessReady.net, I combine custom-engineered automation built from over 30 years of hands-on IT experience with AI to make digital spaces compliant and accessible. We help schools, medical practices, and public-facing organizations meet strict ADA and Unruh Act requirements securely, ensuring no user is left behind.
