Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Belknap is a founder and lead developer with over two decades of hands-on experience translating stories into accessible, maintainable web applications. He builds Python/Django projects with an engineer’s eye for architecture and a designer’s appreciation for usability, focusing on WCAG-compliant interfaces, API integrations, and scalable deployments. Thomas brings deep PHP and open-source roots—contributing to WordPress and OpenSALT—and runs long-standing projects like HolisticNetworking.net and DragonFlyEye.net that blend technical writing with mentoring. At NOAA and with prior enterprise clients he’s delivered resilient content systems and automated pipelines, while at his agency he helps small businesses get measurable results from responsive, performance-oriented sites. He’s pragmatic about tooling and CI/CD (Azure, Pipelines) and, on a lighter note, is an open-source developer who’s happy to talk about his molcajete—evidence of a maker’s curiosity beyond code.
