What I do
Full-stack, front to back
From landing pages to production apps — whatever your stack, I can build it, ship it, and hand it off in a state the next developer will thank you for.
Frontend development
Pixel-perfect UIs in React and Next.js — responsive, accessible, and optimised for Core Web Vitals.
Full-stack apps
End-to-end product builds: Next.js frontend, Node backend, Postgres or MySQL, auth, payments, and deployment.
WordPress & Gutenberg
Custom plugins, Gutenberg blocks, FSE themes, and WooCommerce work with free and Pro licensing.
AI integrations
Claude and OpenAI integrations — streaming chat, prompt caching, tool use, and RAG built into Next.js or WordPress.
E-commerce builds
WooCommerce stores, custom product flows, Stripe payments, and Shopify theme work.
API & integrations
REST APIs, third-party service integrations, webhooks, and headless CMS setups.
