About
I'm Dylan Isaac, founder of Enablement Engineering.
I build glass-box AI systems that extend human capability—systems that can stand up to audit while genuinely empowering the people who use them.
I believe accessibility work is alignment work—the accessibility community has decades of experience with problems AI researchers are only now addressing.
Background
Former Lead AI Engineer at Deque Systems, where I built axe Assistant and developed foundational approaches to AI-generated accessibility content.
A decade of full-stack engineering experience, with deep expertise in accessibility, agentic systems, and the intersection of the two.
Currently building the Equalify PDF to Semantic Markup Converter with UIC Digital Accessibility Services—transforming inaccessible academic PDFs into adaptive web experiences at scale. Presenting this work at CSUN 2026.
Philosophy
Ladders, not walls.
Technology should extend what people can do, not create dependency.
Mirrors, not slot machines.
Systems should reflect user intention, not capture attention.
Glass box, not black box.
Reasoning should be visible and auditable, especially when compliance matters.
Beyond Work
I live in Buffalo, NY with my wife and partner Kaitlin, our dog Basil, and our kitten Corni. ❤️🦬💙
I'm drawn to tools that give people leverage—and I'm happiest turning messy reality into systems that make sense.
