The Problem

Freelancers that disappear.Deadlines that drift.Sound familiar?

Overloaded Pipelines

Too many briefs, not enough hands. Timelines stretch, quality dips & your team burns out trying to keep up.

Unreliable Contractors

Freelancers who ghost, miss deadlines, or deliver half-baked work. You've seen it all before.

Hiring not an option

A full-time hire is a big commitment for fluctuating workload. You need capacity on demand.

The Result: You turn work down

Good projects go to competitors.

Missed deadlines and dropped projects cost more than just the invoice. When you can't deliver, clients go elsewhere.

The Solution

A freelancer your agency can hand tasks & forget about

Agencies don't have time for devs who need hand-holding. I pick up briefs fast, ask the right questions upfront & deliver on time. No chasing required.

Clean handover, every time

I don't just finish the job and vanish. Everything's left in a state your team can own, extend & maintain without needing me on speed dial.

Deadlines you can trust

No disappearing acts, no "just one more week." You get updates before you have to ask for them.

Tailored to your workflow

Figma handoffs, Jira boards, Slack comms — I adapt to your tools & processes, not the other way around.

Built on the modern stack

TypeScript, Tailwind, Next.js, Convex, headless CMS — the modern stack your clients' projects actually need.

React
Next.js
Tailwind CSS
Legacy work

I'm also comfortable with WordPress development

Not every project lands as a greenfield Next.js build.

A lot of agencies still carry a healthy mix of WordPress clients on their books. Whether it's legacy maintenance, custom theme work, plugin development, or migrating an existing WP site to a modern stack — I've got 12+ years of WordPress development experience to draw on.

So if a brief comes in that doesn't fit the React mould, don't rule me out. Chances are I've dealt with it before.
