Luminanze works with several associates, whom we can bring in as needed to collaborate on projects:

He also provides guidance in accessibility to private industry through technology testing and dialog. David has been an active participant in technology access since 1991, and uses assistive technology in his daily work.

David Harris

David Harris is a UK-based independent consultant with over 35 years of experience in information technology and systems engineering, working at most levels dealing with systems that include IT. Dave has a wide knowledge of how systems work from the top (people, applications) to the bottom (operating systems, CPU chips, supporting electronics) as well as an appreciation of usability, costing and acquisition, evolving technology, training issues, etc. These give him an unusual view of what it is actually practical to achieve with a proposed system, and of how it might be done.
