What I do

Three areas I'm strong in

I take on work that needs both architecture and hands-on delivery: from the first commit to production under load.

Product fullstack development

I take a product from problem statement to release: data model, API, interface, deployment.

  • Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js
  • REST and GraphQL, PostgreSQL
  • Production launch and support

Frontend architecture and performance

I clean up frontends that outgrew their structure: architecture, design system, load time.

  • Design systems and reusable components
  • Core Web Vitals and bundle optimisation
  • Migrations to App Router and SSR

Technical leadership and architecture

I help teams make architectural calls they won't have to undo a year later.

  • Code and architecture audit
  • Choosing a stack for the problem and the budget
  • Reviews, process, mentoring
Also in my stack
  • CI/CD
  • Redis
  • React Native
