Wojtek Zając - Nomadic Software Engineer

Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm Wojtek Zając, a software engineer originally from Kraków, Poland. Since 2010, I've been traveling extensively, transitioning to a fully nomadic lifestyle in 2014. Over the past years, I've lived in six different countries, embracing the concept of personal sovereignty through location independence.

About Me

My professional work is mostly related to front-end development, which I got into in the early 2000s. Within Front-End, I specialize in Web Accessibility, and I've given several workshops and presentations on the topic. In 2005, I published the first online course of Polish Sign Language.

I've worked with major universities in the U.S., UK, and Australia, as well as governmental institutions, ensuring their websites comply with accessibility regulations.

My first name is pronounced "Voitek".
