About me

My name is Michał Dziwisz. For years I have been creating media, apps and tools that make everyday use of technology easier. As someone who is blind, digital accessibility matters to me personally, because it decides whether a thing can be used at all. So I would rather build things that are needed and clear than things that merely look impressive.

I am the founder and editor-in-chief of TyfloPodcast, a site about technology and accessibility for blind and partially sighted people. I also help develop the format of Radio DHT's main channel. I write software too: the TyfloCentrum apps for Windows, Android and iOS, the SARA radio automation system, and alongside them smaller tools such as Podróżnik and a utility for removing signatures from PDF files.

Accessibility is what ties these projects together. I think about it from the start, instead of adding it to a finished project at the end. This website was built the same way: it is meant to work well with screen readers, be easy to use with a keyboard, and remain readable in both light and dark modes.
