I help Laravel and WordPress teams add a modern React front end without wrecking what’s already in prod.

Most of my work is freelance or contract — usually just me on the codebase. Sometimes I join your Slack and stand-ups for a few months; either way there’s no agency in the middle.

Proof

Brought in when the deadline is real.

Solo for a migration or a greenfield slice, or embedded for a few sprints when tests and deploys are what’s slowing the team down.

  • SaaS & product teams
  • Founders shipping MVPs

      unified into one HR platform

      Employield

      Modern HR for teams that outgrew spreadsheets.

      Contract work on an Australian HR platform: employees, time off, leave, performance, and training in one app. React and Tailwind on the front, Zod on the forms, MongoDB on DigitalOcean, with multi-tenant data and role-based access.

      • Employee, time-off, and performance in one place
      • Zod-backed validation across forms and APIs
      • MongoDB + DigitalOcean production stack

      in real-time territory drafts

      Personal project2025

      Maptasy Sports

      Fantasy drafts where the board is a map — and strategy is geography.

      Territory-based fantasy sports: each pick must border land you already control. React and Tailwind power the client; WebSockets keep leagues live; DynamoDB, S3, and EC2 on AWS handle state, assets, and hosting for 2–12 player rooms.

    How I work

    Same approach whether I’m solo or on your team.

    You talk to me, not an account manager. I’ve worked with designers, PMs, and other devs before — I plug in where you need an extra pair of hands.

    1. 1

      Figure out what’s stuck

      I ask what’s actually blocking you — the React layer, the CMS, deploys, or ops — and what a useful first week looks like. Same conversation whether I’m the only engineer on the contract or joining your team.

    2. 2

      Ship in small chunks

      I work in small releases with tests so you can try things early. On your team, I follow your stand-ups and PR flow; on a solo contract, I skip the extra ceremony and keep moving.

    3. 3

      Leave it runnable

      CI, docs, and code your team can run without me. I care more about what happens the week after I leave than about stretching the engagement.
