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