About Mohammad Rehan Usmani

 

I am an Accessibility Consultant and CPACC-certified professional with over 10 years of experience in digital accessibility, inclusive design, and compliance strategy.


With a strong background in accessibility testing and governance, I have worked on enterprise-level platforms, ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1/2.2, Section 508, and EN 301 549 standards. My work focuses not only on meeting compliance requirements but on creating meaningful, usable experiences for people with disabilities.


Currently, I serve as a Senior Accessibility Test Engineer, where I collaborate closely with design, product, and engineering teams to embed accessibility into the development lifecycle — reducing risk, improving usability, and strengthening digital inclusion.


What makes my perspective unique is that I am also a low vision professional who actively uses assistive technologies such as JAWS, NVDA, TalkBack, and VoiceOver. This combination of technical expertise and lived experience allows me to bridge the gap between compliance checklists and real-world usability.


Over the years, I have:

      • Led accessibility audits for web and mobile applications

      • Designed accessibility testing strategies

      • Reviewed enterprise platforms for global compliance

      • Prepared VPAT documentation

      • Supported teams in implementing accessibility governance frameworks

    I believe accessibility is not just a legal requirement — it is a responsibility and an opportunity to build better digital experiences for everyone.


    Through this platform, I share insights, guidance, and practical strategies to help organizations create inclusive, compliant, and user-centered digital products.an…
