Dan Spelt
Accessibility-first systems. WCAG compliance. Performance-optimized web platforms.
18+ years building secure, scalable applications in public-sector and accessibility-focused environments.
What I Bring to Senior Teams
Architecture Leadership
End-to-end system design across Next.js, React, Node.js, MongoDB, and Docker. I own architectural decisions and deliver maintainable, scalable codebases.
Compliance & Standards
WCAG 2.0/2.1 implementation, ADA compliance, screen reader engineering, and documentation practices aligned with public-sector requirements.
Lived Accessibility Expertise
As a developer with cerebral palsy, I bring firsthand understanding of assistive technology. Inclusive design is not a checklist — it's my standard.
The Intersection Most Engineers Miss
Most senior engineers don't deeply understand accessibility. Most accessibility engineers don't deeply understand full-stack systems architecture. I sit at that intersection — and it's especially valuable in government, education, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS environments.
