Bearded white man with an adventure hat, sunglasses, a life jacket, and a canoe on his shoulders

Stephen Belyea is a seasoned front end developer and dedicated accessibility nerd who also likes to be outside.
Belwerks is his dorky online handle.

Who am I?

I’m a senior front-end engineer with 10+ years of experience building accessible, user-focused web apps. I’ve been working with React and TypeScript since 2015, with a strong focus on clean components, design systems, and WCAG-compliant accessibility.

I care deeply about great UI, performance, and maintainable architecture—and I thrive when collaborating across teams, mentoring developers, and shipping thoughtful features that make a real impact.
