Naomi Shore
Software engineer who builds accessible React and TypeScript interfaces, and the C#/.NET services behind them.
Featured projects
Interfaces I've built and the principles behind them, from accessibility features to component architecture.
All projects-
-
In-browser document viewer
Read Word, spreadsheet, presentation and PDF files in the browser without downloading them, in an accessible viewer built on pdf.js.

This site
A static Astro site that works without JavaScript, reads in order without CSS and behaves the same in every browser engine, with tests that hold it to that.
About me
I'm Naomi. I like software that feels calm and works hard.
I've spent seven years with one company, growing from apprentice to Software Engineer II. I work across the stack, but I'm happiest building React and TypeScript interfaces that everyone can use, whatever their device, settings or assistive technology.
Away from the keyboard
- Clean, minimal websites that keep accessibility in mind and don't go overboard
- Digital art, drawn in Photoshop on a Wacom tablet, and following artists who draw animals
- Indie music, such as Southarcade and Bennett Coast
- Gaming, especially Minecraft and racing in GTA 5, where I've topped the global leaderboard on some races
- Foxes. Obviously.
Experience
Seven years at one company, and a first-class degree apprenticeship along the way.

Custom radio buttons that survive high contrast mode
Styling the real input with appearance: none, and making sure it doesn't vanish when Windows forced colours kicks in.
-
Radios that reveal more, without the confusion
What the GOV.UK Design System taught me about radios that show an extra question, and how to build them so nobody misses what appeared.

Building a high contrast theme that respects the user
prefers-contrast, forced colours and a manual toggle: three different things that all get called 'high contrast'.
