ABOUT ME
I'm Harrison Holt
I'm a full-stack developer actively seeking full-time opportunities in frontend or full-stack roles, with a focus on accessible frontend design and cloud-first backend architecture. I specialize in building web apps that are fast, inclusive, and production-ready.
I hold a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Psychology from Clemson University and am currently completing the UT Austin Full Stack Software Development Certificate. I’m certified in AWS (Developer & Solutions Architect) and digital accessibility (DHS Trusted Tester), and I’m an active member of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP). These allow me to create applications that are scalable, secure, and usable by everyone.
Whether I'm designing an accessible UI, running Lighthouse and Pa11y tests in a CI/CD pipeline, or architecting an event-driven AWS system, I take pride in delivering high-quality code with real-world reliability.
This site was built with accessibility in mind and meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards, verified using Pa11y, Axe, Lighthouse, and WAVE, and tested with ANDI following DHS Trusted Tester methodology.
Outside of dev work, I'm passionate about military history and will never say no to a good book and a Dr Pepper.
