Dallon is a Digital Accessibility Specialist at Equal Dreams and a low-vision individual, born with congenital cataracts, he has partial vision in his left eye and no vision in his right. He recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computing Science (Honours) from the University of Glasgow, UK, through a joint programme with the Singapore Institute of Technology.
One of his most impactful passion projects was his capstone thesis: a web-based solution designed to empower persons with visual impairment to independently fill and sign untagged PDF forms. This proof-of-concept combined assistive technology with intuitive form detection and signature placement features, helping address a long-standing barrier to digital independence.
Prior to joining Equal Dreams, Dallon worked as a freelance trainer at various social service agencies, where he discovered his passion in supporting the Blind and Low Vision (BLV) community. He has trained individuals to use a wide range of assistive technologies, from screen readers to mobile accessibility features, and actively advocates for inclusive design and better representation of the BLV experience in tech development.
At Equal Dreams, Dallon conducts digital accessibility accessibility checks, delivers training on accessibility standards, and continues to teach assistive technology to persons with visual impairments. His work bridges technical expertise with lived experience, driving meaningful accessibility improvements across different projects.
Beyond his current focus, Dallon is eager to deepen his understanding of other disability communities and learn how inclusive design can better serve their unique needs. Through his work at Equal Dreams, he hopes to contribute to accessibility efforts that go beyond visual impairment, ensuring more holistic solutions that reflect the full diversity of human experience.
