Tyler Winters

Web Developer & Accessibility Specialist

I serve as an accessibility specialist and front-end engineer on large-scale, cloud-hosted web applications, ensuring compliance with Section 508, WCAG 2.1/2.2, and IITAA while contributing directly to production front-end code. My work spans modern AI-First software delivery environments, where AI is embedded into the development lifecycle for code generation, testing, and workflow automation, allowing teams to move faster while keeping quality and accessibility high. I help build and maintain business portals using React, Next.js, and component-based UI frameworks that support secure authentication, data-driven workflows, and complex user journeys, leveraging large language models (LLMs) and automation to accelerate development, validation, and iteration.

Accessibility is built into everything I do, not added at the end. I implement and review semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen-reader compatibility as part of my everyday development work. Whether it's within my current development projects or through independent accessibility audits of client sites and applications that I am not directly building, I use JAWS, VoiceOver, axe-core, Lighthouse, and browser developer tools to identify issues automated scans miss. I produce clear, detailed audit reports with WCAG mappings, screenshots, and code-level remediation guidance so teams can resolve issues efficiently and correctly. I also remediate PDFs and Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) for screen-reader compatibility.

In parallel, I work closely with product managers, UX designers, backend engineers, and QA teams to embed accessibility into Agile and CI/CD workflows. I also support business development by helping agencies and organizations assess accessibility risk, compliance gaps, and modernization opportunities across their web applications and digital platforms, advising on remediation strategy, accessibility governance, and long-term compliance.
