Thomas Belknap (holisticnetworking) 😎

Senior web developer · open source builder · accessibility-first

I build websites and tools that don’t fall apart in six months.

That usually means: clean architecture, structured data, boringly reliable code, and UX details (especially forms) that don’t make users want to throw laptops into rivers.

Webster, NY · 🌐 https://holisticnetworking.net


What I do

  • Web platforms & content systems (data modeling, workflows, integrations)
  • Accessible UI engineering (semantic HTML, forms, usability-first patterns)
  • API work (integration-heavy builds, clean contracts, reliable interfaces)
  • Python development (modernization work, automation, and backend services)
  • Maintainability-first code (predictable structure, readable changes, stable behavior)

If it’s meant to last, I’m interested.


Stuff worth clicking

A few repos that represent my “shipping” style:

  • easy-inputs — Error-resistant form & input templating (good UX is a feature)
  • restrictionroulette — Creative constraint generator for composers (rules are fun)
  • api-platform-test — Platform experiments (TypeScript, API shapes, and integration patterns)
  • title-to-terms — Metadata automation + clean tagging workflows
  • wp-scholar — Structured content types (content modeling in practice)

How I think about software

  • Code is communication.
  • A feature isn’t done until it’s maintainable.
  • If the data model isn’t clear, everything downstream gets expensive.
  • Accessibility isn’t “extra,” it’s the floor.

I’ve shipped a lot of work in...

  • CMS-heavy environments (yes, including WordPress)
  • Higher-ed / publishing-style systems
  • Python-backed tooling and modernization efforts
  • Long-lived platforms where stability matters more than novelty

Ask me about

  • Designing maintainable systems that survive real life
  • Forms, templates, and UI patterns that reduce user error
  • Content modeling and metadata workflows
  • Practical modernization: “make it better without breaking everything”
  • Debugging the “this shouldn’t be happening” kind of problems 😅
