“15 years building web products people actually enjoy using, for startups, agencies and enterprise teams.”
I've spent the last 15 years building web products across the full stack, working with startups, agencies and enterprise clients on everything from SaaS platforms and e-commerce stores to corporate websites and custom solutions. My go-to stack is React, Next.js, Node.js and WordPress, but what I really focus on is understanding what you need and shipping it cleanly. I don't cut corners and I don't disappear mid-project.
