About Me
Transforming challenges into innovation
I'm Dan Spelt, a seasoned full-stack web developer with over 18 years of experience crafting robust, scalable, and user-centric applications. My ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, coupled with deep technical expertise, has consistently resulted in the successful delivery of projects that meet both business and user needs.
I was born with cerebral palsy, a condition affecting muscle coordination and mobility. Rather than a limitation, it has been a source of inspiration — fueling my drive to innovate and find creative solutions that I incorporate into every project. I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, real-world experience, and a relentless drive to create solutions that empower users and clients alike.

Accessibility & Inclusion
Choosing to collaborate with me means partnering with a professional who is deeply committed to making technology accessible to all. My condition has instilled in me resilience, adaptability, and a profound understanding of the importance of accessibility in technology.

My commitment extends beyond compliance — it's about creating genuinely inclusive experiences.
Notable Work
