I’m a senior freelance web developer who partners with marketing teams to build high-performance, scalable websites using tools like Next.js, Sanity, and Vercel. I care deeply about clean, composable architecture that evolves as a business grows. Not code that needs a full rebuild every two years.
I’ve been building on the web for a long time, but lately my focus has shifted toward the why behind what we build. I’m interested in how technical decisions shape creativity, speed, and even the energy of a team.
Here on Dev.to I plan to share:
- Practical lessons from real-world projects with Next.js and Sanity
- Experiments in content modeling and CMS architecture
- Ways to keep performance, SEO, and maintainability in balance
- Reflections on freelancing, focus, and sustainable creative work
If any of that resonates with you, follow along or drop a comment. I’d love to connect with others who care about building for the long term.
Thanks for having me here.
