My story
I've spent my career where websites meet real customers: resolving critical issues on a learning platform used by thousands of students a day, and keeping online stores selling for French jewellery brands.
Production work teaches you what matters: fast pages, stable systems, and clear communication. On a dedicated bug team I learned to find root causes quickly and report plainly while doing it, and that habit carries into every project I take on.
I've coordinated daily with Japanese senior engineers, worked alongside senior developers in France, and now build for a New Zealand creative agency and its clients. Working across languages and time zones made me a better partner: you get updates you can read at a glance, honest estimates, and quick answers.
I'm equally at home in legacy and modern codebases, from PHP, jQuery, and WordPress through to React, Vue, and Next.js. Plenty of businesses run on a mix of both, and I enjoy meeting a codebase where it is: maintaining it, improving it, or migrating it when the time comes.
Working with me
What you get as a client
One dedicated point of contact
You talk directly to the person doing the work, from first message to launch day and beyond. Questions get answered by the developer who actually built your site.
Communication across time zones
I've coordinated daily with teams in Japan, France, and New Zealand. You get clear, regular updates and honest timelines, wherever you are in the world.
From support ticket to shipped fix
Years on a dedicated bug team taught me to find root causes fast. Describe the problem the way your customer saw it, and I'll trace it, fix it, and explain what happened in plain language.
Fluent in legacy and modern stacks
I work comfortably across PHP, jQuery, and WordPress as well as React, Vue, and Next.js. I can care for the site you have today and build the one you need next.
E-commerce with revenue in mind
I've built and maintained online stores for European brands, so I treat page speed and checkout stability as money. Every fix and feature is judged by whether it helps you sell.
A website your team can run
Every build ends with a CMS your team can edit, plus training and documentation. You stay in control of your own website, and I stay one message away.
