The Toolkit

A stack that moves with the work.

Four years of choosing the right tool, not the trendiest one. These are the ones I reach for daily.

Services

Four ways I plug in to ship product.

Pick a lane — or mix them. Most engagements blend two, and most start with a one-week paid discovery.

Vue 3 & Nuxt, React & Next.js. Offline-first progressive web apps with service workers, IndexedDB, background sync, and push notifications.

Process

How an engagement actually goes.

No mystery, no slide deck of buzzwords. Four phases, paid discovery up front, weekly demos throughout.

01 · Discovery

Listen & map

A paid one-week discovery: I read the codebase, interview the team, audit the product, and produce a written tech plan with risks and budget.

02 · Shape

Prototype & align

Working prototypes — not Figma flat-files — for the critical flows. Designed alongside your team, in real code, on real devices.

03 · Build

Ship in slices

Weekly increments behind a feature flag. Storybook for the design system, e2e tests for the workflows, Lighthouse budgets in CI.

04 · Handover

Document & teach

Written architecture notes, recorded walkthroughs, and a 30-day post-launch retainer included. Your team owns the codebase, fully.

I build web interfaces that feel quietly fast and unmistakably crafted — for teams in fintech, microfinance, agriculture, and SaaS. Four years in, mostly remote, always shipping.
