Overview
I specialise in building fast, scalable frontends with Next.js and React. From simple landing pages to complex multi-page applications with App Router, server components, and TypeScript, I write clean, maintainable code that performs well in production. With 3+ years of React experience and 50+ delivered projects, I bring both technical depth and practical delivery speed to every engagement.
Next.js is my daily driver, not a framework I dabble in. I work with the App Router, server components, streaming, and static generation every week, which means I know where the sharp edges are hydration mismatches, caching surprises, bundle bloat and how to avoid them before they cost you performance or SEO. The result is an application that scores well on Lighthouse on day one and stays fast as it grows.
If you already have a React codebase, I can join it rather than rewrite it. That might mean migrating Pages Router to App Router incrementally, untangling a slow component tree, introducing TypeScript gradually, or adding server-side rendering to a client-only app that Google struggles to index. You get senior-level code review habits and a codebase your next developer will thank you for.
What's Included
- Next.js App Router or Pages Router application
- TypeScript throughout no loose types
- Tailwind CSS responsive layout
- Server-side rendering (SSR) and static generation (SSG) where appropriate
- API routes or integration with external backend
- Component library setup (shadcn/ui, Radix, or custom)
- Framer Motion animations
- Lighthouse performance score 90+
Key Features
App Router Architecture
Full Next.js 14/15 App Router with server components, streaming, and layouts for maximum performance and developer experience.
TypeScript-First
Every project is written in strict TypeScript. Fewer runtime bugs, better IDE support, and codebases that are easy to hand over.
Polished UI with Animations
Framer Motion animations, smooth transitions, and pixel-perfect Tailwind CSS designs that match your brand and impress users.
State Management
Zustand, TanStack Query, or React Context I choose the right tool for your data complexity, not the most fashionable one.
API Integration
REST APIs, GraphQL, Stripe, Firebase, Supabase, or your existing backend cleanly integrated with typed service layers.
Analytics & Monitoring
Vercel Analytics, Google Analytics 4, or PostHog built in from day one so you can measure what matters.
How I Work
- 1
Technical scoping
We review your requirements or your existing codebase and agree on architecture: rendering strategy, data fetching, state management, and deployment target.
- 2
Foundation setup
Project scaffolding with TypeScript, linting, Tailwind CSS, and CI checks from the first commit, so quality is enforced automatically rather than by memory.
- 3
Iterative builds
Features ship in small, reviewable increments with staging previews on every push. You see progress continuously instead of waiting for a final delivery.
- 4
Performance pass
Bundle analysis, image optimisation, lazy loading, and Core Web Vitals tuning targeting Lighthouse scores of 90+ before launch.
- 5
Handover
Documented code, a deployment runbook, and a walkthrough session so your team can maintain and extend the app confidently.
Ways to Work Together
Fixed-Scope Project
A complete Next.js application or feature set delivered against an agreed specification, timeline, and quote.
Best for: New builds and well-defined features with a clear deadline.
Ongoing Retainer
Reserved monthly capacity for feature development, refactoring, dependency upgrades, and performance work on your React codebase.
Best for: Product teams that ship continuously and want a reliable senior contributor.
Hourly Consulting
Code reviews, architecture advice, App Router migration planning, or debugging a specific performance problem.
Best for: Teams with in-house developers who need targeted Next.js expertise.
Real Project Example
TourHill production travel booking platform on Next.js 15
TourHill sells curated skip-the-line tickets and guided tours across Spain. I built the platform end-to-end with Next.js 15, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Stripe including multi-language support, server-side rendering for SEO, and automated deployments with GitHub Actions.
- Live in production at tourhill.com, serving real bookings
- Server-rendered pages indexed by Google across multiple languages
- Stripe payment flow with PostgreSQL and Drizzle ORM on the backend
- Automated CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions, PM2, and Nginx
Serving Wollongong & All of Australia
Based in Wollongong and working with clients across Australia, I am available for both local engagements in the Illawarra and Sydney, and fully remote work with teams in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and overseas. Australian clients get overlapping working hours, clear written communication, and no time-zone relay delays.
