Solomon is the Accessibility Program Manager for the Inclusive Tech Lab at Microsoft. He joined the Inclusive Tech Lab (ITL) in 2020 to help design and develop products like the Surface Adaptive Kit and the new Microsoft Adaptive Accessories. Prior to that, he worked for Tobii Dynavox selling and supporting Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices for people with speech impacting disabilities. He originally started with Microsoft in 2014 in their Physical Stores during which time he was honored to be part of the Xbox Adaptive Controller team. His background, though, is not in technology. He is a classically trained actor and scholar. He has two master’s degrees in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature in Performance, wrote about Shakespeare’s business model, and was an accomplished stage fighter. Being a limb different actor, and having a need for various prosthetic hands, ultimately led him to transition to tech. He was recently accepted to the Mythological Studies Ph.D. program at Pacifica Graduate Institute. He is an avid gamer, storyteller, and poet who spends way too much time collecting antique storybooks.
