Matt Campbell, Chief Technology Officer and Cofounder

Matt Campbell is a visually impaired software developer who has focused on improving accessibility since the late 1990s.

Linux Accessibility Contributor

He started his accessibility development career with contributions to the Linux desktop operating system.

His goal was to provide a useful alternative to the expensive Windows assistive technologies of the time.

Serotek Product Developer

In 2001, Matt joined Mike Calvo at Serotek, to make accessibility not only affordable but also easy to use.

Matt’s innovative approach to software development led to many cutting-edge features. For example, when browsing the web with the System Access screen reader, users didn’t have to switch in and out of a special mode to fill out forms.

Creator of Serotek’s System Access to Go

Matt created System Access to Go, a feature-rich screen reader running on any Windows PC.

System Access to Go, powered through a simple web browser, is the first screen reader of its kind which requires no installation.

Blind and print disabled individuals today can make any PC computer accessible no matter where they are in the world, absolutely free of charge, through the Accessibility Is a Right (AIR) foundation.

Developer of Serotek’s RIM & RAM

Matt also developed both of Serotek’s remote access solutions: Remote Incident Manager (RIM), and Remote Access Manager (RAM).

These twin customer support tools enable blind IT professionals to provide technical support and training to both blind and sighted users.

Multi-Platform Developer

While at Serotek, Matt developed additional sundry applications for every major platform:

  • Windows
  • MacOS
  • IOS
  • Android
  • Amazon Alexa
  • Web based-environment

Joined Microsoft’s Windows Accessibility Team

In 2017, Matt left Serotek to join the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft.

As part of that team, Matt made key contributions to the development of Narrator, the screen reader built into Windows. Among other improvements, he implemented an overhauled keyboard layout and contributed to Narrator’s support for the Chrome web browser.

Matt also played a key role in major improvements to the Windows UI Automation API. His contributions helped enable built-in and third-party Windows assistive technologies to provide rich, responsive access to even the most complex applications, in a secure and robust way.

Long-time followers of Serotek may remember the 2016 blog about problems with the Microsoft Edge browser. Matt wrote most of the points, and is especially proud to have helped solve the problems he raised in that blog post during his time at Microsoft.

Matt Joins Pneuma Solutions

A little over three years after joining Microsoft, Matt once again moved onto new challenges.

He’s rejoined Mike Calvo, this time as Cofounder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Pneuma Solutions: the leader in accessible cloud-based solutions.

Here Matt will lead the development of solutions to some of the most pressing accessibility needs facing people with print disabilities at home and on the job.
