Digital Solutions

  • 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

    • News
    • Menus
    • Offers
    • Events

  • 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
    • 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

    • Slow websites
    • Broken on phones
    • Not on Google
    • Hard to update

  • Digital marketing and SEO

    A good website is no use if nobody finds it. I set up your pages so Google understands them, put your business on Google Maps, and plan the content and campaigns that bring in people who are ready to buy.

    Good for

    • Too few visitors
    • Too few enquiries
    • Not on Google Maps

  • A front-end lead for your team

    For software companies and in-house teams. I plan the work, review code and keep releases on time, guide your developers through hard problems, and keep managers updated without the jargon.

    Good for

    • IT companies
    • Startups
    • Product teams

How it works

  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.

Projects I've built

AI product

A tool that shows how the parts of a large codebase connect. I built the screen: a clickable map of 60,000+ items, with search and AI explanations in the same place.

  • TypeScript
  • Neo4j
  • Qdrant
  • GenAI

A business platform where each customer company gets its own private space and decides who sees what. I designed the front end: sign-in with company accounts, permissions set per team, and notifications that arrive live.

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • WebSocket
  • OIDC SSO
  • Feature-Sliced Design

Software for internet providers

Business software, 2026

Customer, billing and operations software that lets an internet provider run the business from one place. I built the screens staff use, connected them to other systems and made the product's website.

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Python

Ask me about this project

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

Design your own team kit

Client platform, 2015

An Australian sportswear company wanted customers to design kits online and see every change in a live preview. I led the development and design team and showed the client our progress every week.

  • Angular
  • JavaScript
  • Gulp

WordPress plugin for portfolios

WordPress plugin, 2026

A WordPress plugin I'm building so portfolio pages are easy to edit. Each piece of content has its own field, and projects and skills are kept as separate lists.

  • React
  • Gutenberg
  • PHP

This website

Personal site, 2026

The site you are reading. Every page is built ahead of time, so it loads fast; the interactive parts, like the career explorer and the word game, run in your browser.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind
  • Vitest

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.
