Pawel Masarczyk

Accessibility and experience expert at the viennese IT development and accessibility consulting company WIENFLUSS and a native to the use of screenreaders, Pawel has been advocating for better accessibility on the web since his teenage years. His professional involvement in this field has crossed through organizations such as the European Parliament, European Commission and the European Blind Union as well as numerous NGOs and associations in Poland and Austria.
Although his personal field of interest are mobile apps, Pawel is no stranger to evaluating the accessibility of classical web content and he enjoys exploring the faraway corners of HTML and ARIA especially in the companion of many robotic sounding text-to-speech voices.
Aside from his main involvement as digital accessibility consultant, Pawel shares his knowledge about blindness-related technology through various podcast and radio show projects in both Polish and English and contributes to the promotion of IT skills among blind ICT users internationally.
