Full-stack Architect & Front-end Manager

Fast, reliable web products that grow
with your business.

15+ years helping companies across the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific build and improve their web products. I lead front-end development with React, TypeScript and WordPress, from technical planning through to launch. Bring me in to build, advise on a difficult decision, or lead the work with your team.

Services

Not sure what you need yet? That's normal. Tell me what you want to change, like more customers, less paperwork or an easier way to take orders, and I'll suggest the simplest thing that works. I build it myself, or work with your team.

  • A website that brings in customers

    A site that looks good on phones, loads fast and shows up when people search for you on Google. Visitors can call, send a message, book or buy in a couple of taps.

    Good for: restaurants, hotels, clinics, schools, travel agencies, shops.

  • A website you can update yourself

    Change prices, add photos or post news without calling a developer. I set up WordPress so the edit screen is simple and your design stays tidy, whoever edits it.

    Good for: businesses that post news, menus, offers or events often.

  • An app or system to run your business

    Bookings, billing, stock, customer records, staff dashboards. If the business runs on spreadsheets, paper and phone calls, I can turn that into one simple system that works on any phone or computer. I add AI where it saves real time.

    Good for: growing businesses, internet providers, agencies, companies with field staff.

  • Fix or speed up your current website

    Slow, broken on mobile, not showing on Google, or hard to update? I'll check it, explain what's wrong in plain language, and fix what matters most first.

    Good for: anyone with a website that isn't bringing in enquiries.

  • A front-end lead for your team

    For software companies and in-house teams. I manage a front-end team today, so I know how to plan the work, review code and keep releases on time. I can do the same for yours: guide your developers through hard problems, explain the reason behind each review comment, and keep managers updated without the jargon.

    Good for: IT companies, startups, product teams.

One-click company login

Staff sign-in, 2026

Staff sign in to a business web app with the company account they already use, so there is no extra password to remember. I connected the app to Microsoft Azure to make that work.

  • OIDC
  • Azure
  • AWS EKS

My experience

Sep 2026 to Present

Manager, Front-end Engineering

Devfinity, LLC

Promoted from Principal Software Developer (Mar 2022 to Sep 2026)

Since September 2026 I lead the front-end team across Devfinity's internal products: planning the work, setting the standards and making sure every release is finished properly, not just working. Before that, as Principal Software Developer, I led front-end architecture and built the shared components and WordPress blocks behind our enterprise applications.

How it works

No jargon, no surprises. Here's what happens after you get in touch.

  1. 01

    A free 30-minute chat

    You tell me about your business and what you want. I ask questions and tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.

  2. 02

    A simple plan and a clear price

    Within a few days you get a short written plan: what I'll build, how long it takes and what it costs. No hidden extras.

  3. 03

    I build, you see progress every week

    You get a preview link you can open on your phone, and a short update in plain language.

  4. 04

    Launch, training and support

    I put it live, show you how to update it, and stay around for fixes. You own everything: the code, the domain and the content.

Learn

Know what your developer is talking about. Read the clue and put the letters in order to see a short, plain explanation. Drag a letter, or tap it and then its new position. Your solved words are saved in this browser.

Picking a word…

How I work

You'll always know where things stand.

A short update every week, in plain language, with a link you can open and try.

Your business first, technology second.

I start by learning who your customers are and what they need to get done. The technical choices follow from that.

Finished properly, not just working.

Before anything goes live, I check it on phones, against the design and for the gaps a real user would hit.
