Are you a software engineer based in Newquay?

Yes. I am a freelance software engineer and web developer based in Newquay, Cornwall. I can meet locally when a project benefits from it, work with clients across the rest of the UK, and take on remote work across Europe.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Most engagements are remote. I collaborate with founders and product teams across the UK and Europe, with overlap in UK and European working hours.

What kind of developer work do you take on?

Product scoping, full-stack web development, and getting an existing codebase ready to ship. Typical work is TypeScript and React with Go or Node and Postgres, adapted to whatever stack the project needs.

Services

Software engineering and web development for UK and European teams, from Newquay or fully remote.

Product scoping

Turn a vague brief into a delivery plan: scope, milestones, estimate, and a spec your team can actually build from.

Full-stack web development

Design and build the product end to end in whatever stack the work needs, then hand it off with docs and tests.

Rescue and handoff

Stabilize an existing codebase, close the gaps that block launch, and leave you with a maintainable path forward.
