Implementing the invisible parts of UI - by Stepan Bolotnikov (Senior Accessibility Front-End Engineer at Splunk)

There are many aspects of UX that can't always be directly seen in design or even in finished product unless you know where to look, but they still have profound impact on the user experience. We'll go into some examples of things to look out for, why they're important and how to handle them.

Speaker bio: Stepan has worked in many companies in many roles over many years, all of them involved with front-end development in one way or another. He's currently a Senior Accessibility Front-End Engineer at Splunk.
