About me

Freelance software engineer and developer · Newquay, Cornwall · UK and remote across Europe

I have spent five years building production web apps end to end, from frontend architecture and design systems to APIs, databases, and deployment. Alongside client work I ship my own products, including Ranova, Keurova, and NextRink.

I adapt to the stack that fits the project. A lot of recent work has been TypeScript and React with Go or Node and Postgres, but I have also owned frontend systems from scratch, consolidated fragmented UI into a shared design library, and helped ship AI-powered SaaS. What I care about is a product that holds up after launch, not a favourite framework.

Typical engagements start with scoping: what to build, what to cut, and how to sequence delivery. I then implement the core product, keep stakeholders aligned, and leave behind docs, tests, and a codebase your team can keep. I am based in Newquay, Cornwall, work with teams across the UK, take on remote projects across Europe, and I am fluent in English and French.

Newquay, the UK, Europe, and remote

I am a freelance software engineer based in Newquay, Cornwall. I work with local businesses in person when it helps, with product teams across the UK, and remotely with teams across Europe.

Services

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.
