Hi, I'm Artur 👋

A flock of small birds perched together on a branch, hand-drawn in white line art on a deep navy background.

Mobile engineer who builds for everyone ♿

I spent years making React Native accessible — and shipped real tools that people use today. Now I'm chasing the next challenge: new platforms, new ideas, and harder problems to solve.

🔭 Currently: going deeper into native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin), and exploring Flutter.

🚀 Where I'm headed

I love accessibility and React Native, and I'm not done with them. I learn fast, and I want to use that range to solve bigger problems.

  • 🌉 Bridging JS and native — going deeper into Swift and Kotlin, so I can solve problems React Native alone can't reach.
  • ♿ Accessibility everywhere — bringing the a11y thinking most teams skip to whatever platform I work on, including Flutter.
  • 💡 Ideas into tools — I turn real user pain into small, focused open-source tools. More are on the way.
  • 🤝 Best on hard problems — I do my best work with ambitious teams, on things that reach real users.

Got a hard problem or a wild idea? Let's talk.

🛠️ What I've built so far

Open-source accessibility tools for React Native — proof that the ideas work.

⭐ react-native-a11y — all-in-one toolkit: screen reader focus order, announcements, physical keyboard support, and iOS a11y containers, under one A11y.* namespace.

Keyboard

✍️ Articles

I write about what I learn — how the APIs work, how screen readers behave, and how to test real user flows.
