"Do you ask a dolphin how it swims, or an eagle how it flies? No, because that's what they were made to do!"

Gerard K. Cohen loves front end engineering so much that he is on a mission to make sure that the web is inclusive to all users, making rich internet experiences available for all. He believes great Ux includes performance and accessibility.

Gerard lives in Oakland with his wife and Betta fish, Squiggles. When he is not sleeping or drinking Zombies at tiki bars, he helps raise awareness by speaking at Front End and Accessibility conferences around the country, as well as producing an upcoming course on accessibility for Pluralsight. During the day though, he is the Front End Ux Architect and Senior Accessibility Lead at Wells Fargo.
