About Me

Brian van Vlymen

I am a UI/UX Engineer with a Computer Science background from UTSA and a deep commitment to digital inclusion.

I maintain a dedicated UI/UX Engineering Lab where I stress-test frontend performance through real-time telemetry and AI-driven logic, while keeping my architectural skills sharp through Full-Stack and DevOps projects.

As a certified Web Accessibility Specialist (WAS), I believe the most powerful systems are the ones that everyone can use, regardless of ability or device. My goal is to build software that is as stable as it is accessible.
