Arkam Shakil

I’m a Digital Accessibility specialist who focuses on evaluating websites and applications for accessibility issues. I conduct manual and automated accessibility testing against standards like WCAG, Section 508, and EN 301 549, identify usability barriers for users with disabilities, and provide clear, actionable recommendations to development and design teams. I also support teams in understanding accessibility requirements and improving their testing and delivery processes.

I have nearly 5 years of experience in the digital accessibility domain, working extensively on accessibility testing across websites and applications for multiple industry-leading organizations. I am also the chief writer of AUIG, an open-source initiative focused on simplifying and promoting accessible development practices. In addition, I have created accessibility-focused tools such as A11yBae to support and educate the accessibility community.

I hold multiple professional certifications in digital accessibility from organizations such as CertStamps and Deque, and I am a Certified Accessibility Specialist recognized by Wix. These certifications reflect my formal training in accessibility standards, testing practices, and inclusive design principles.
