About

A developer who treats your project like a product

I combine strong engineering expertise with a deep focus on user experience to build websites and web applications that are fast, accessible, scalable, and enjoyable to use.

With over 6+ of experience in modern web development, I've delivered SaaS platforms, eCommerce stores, real-time applications, and high-converting marketing websites for businesses across different industries. Whether you're launching a new product, modernizing an existing application, or improving performance, I focus on creating solutions that users love and that help businesses achieve measurable results.

More about me
  • Performance-first

    Core Web Vitals treated as a requirement, not an afterthought — fast first paint and instant interactions.

  • Accessible by default

    WCAG AA baked in: semantic HTML, keyboard support, visible focus, and real contrast.

  • SEO-ready

    Server rendering, structured data, and clean metadata so your pages are built to be found.

  • Maintainable

    Typed, tested, and well-structured code your team can extend with confidence.

How I work

A clear, collaborative process

From first conversation to launch and beyond, every step is transparent so you always know where things stand.

  1. 01

    Discovery & goals

    We start by understanding your business, users, and what success looks like — so every technical decision serves a real goal.

  2. 02

    Architecture & planning

    I define the stack, information architecture, rendering strategy, and SEO plan, then agree scope and milestones with you.

  3. 03

    Design implementation

    I build accessible, responsive components from your designs (or collaborate on UI), with clean, reviewable code.

  4. 04

    Development & integration

    Features come together across the stack — APIs, data, and UI — with performance and accessibility checked as we go.

  5. 05

    Testing & optimisation

    I test critical flows, tune Core Web Vitals, and validate SEO and structured data before anything ships.

  6. 06

    Launch & support

    I deploy to production (Vercel or your host), set up analytics and monitoring, and stay available for iteration.
