My Work
About Me
Engineered Thinking. Modern Applications.
I spent 24 years as an electrician solving real-world problems — designing systems, diagnosing faults, running a business, and delivering solutions that had to work safely and reliably in the physical world. That experience shaped how I think: structured, practical, and focused on outcomes.
Today I apply the same mindset to my software. I build modern web applications using Next.js and full-stack tooling, with an emphasis on clarity, performance, and maintainability. I operate my development process in the same trade grade way. My clients rely on me to step in when needed and just get the job done. I provide peace of mind and responsibility handled.
Full-Stack Development
Modern web application development using Next.js and scalable backend architecture, built for production environments.
Component & UI Architecture
Clean, reusable component systems with structured file organisation and long-term maintainability in mind.
Performance & Optimisation
Improving load times, bundle size, and application responsiveness through structured engineering decisions.
Agency Overflow Partner
Taking responsibility for clearly defined projects and delivering them with minimal oversight and structured communication.
Codebase Refinement
Auditing and improving existing applications for structure, clarity, and long-term maintainability.
Who I Am Outside of Code
When I'm not building applications, I'm usually working on miniature worlds or small living ecosystems. I enjoy the craft — taking something from raw to refined, balancing structure and creativity, and seeing a system come together intentionally.
Motorcycle Travel
Exploring the world on two wheels. I love discovering new places and returning home richer.
Mini Environments
Terrariums and small ecosystems. So much joy i get in interacting with the natural world.
Timber Craft
I like building real things with my hands. Woodworking, carpentry, and building my own furniture.
Miniature Painting
Patience, detail work, and finishing touches. I enjoy the 3d printing and assembly of characters.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
I primarily collaborate with agencies and product teams. I do also take on direct client work, helping develop their ideas into a robust application.
I prefer clearly defined outcomes and constraints before development begins. Once scope is agreed and design is provided, I focus on structured delivery, clean architecture, and slotting into existing workflows with minimal disruption.
My core stack centres around Next.js and supabase as a backend. I focus on solid architecture, maintainable codebases, and production-ready builds rather than chasing trends.
Both. Im available for defined short-term builds as well as longer-term collaboration where structured engineering support is required.
Content and marketing sites are always fun. I enjoy the client handover and seeing the project come to life. A strong marketplace or saas app is always fun too.
