About Me 🙋‍♂️

I'm Owen McGirr, a software developer 💻 from Donegal, Ireland 🇮🇪, passionate about creating technology that makes a real difference in people's lives 💙.

My Journey 🌟

Living with cerebral palsy and using adaptive switches myself ♿, I understand firsthand the challenges people with disabilities face when interacting with technology 📱. I started programming at 15 👶, driven by a desire to create tools that would not only help me but also empower others in similar situations 💪.

My Mission 🎯

My goal is to make technology more accessible and empowering for people with disabilities ✨. I focus on creating solutions that give people more independence and control over their devices 📲, because I believe everyone deserves equal access to the digital world 🌐.

What I Do 💻

As the founder of EnabO Apps, I develop accessibility-focused applications that help people with speech and mobility challenges. My work includes:

• AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) applications 🗣️
• Adaptive switch solutions for device control 🎮
• Customizable accessibility tools 🔧
• Consulting on accessibility best practices ♿

Recognition 🏆

I've been recognized as an innovator under 35 🎆 and have presented on topics like AI and AAC at various conferences 🎤. My apps have helped thousands of people communicate and interact with technology in ways that work for them 🚀.
