I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, screenshots and copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background as a tech startup founder and full stack developer helps me create practical design solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort and performance. I work to fixed price quotes when projects are self-contained.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

Hi!

I'm a full stack dev, based in the UK. Happy to work with people from all timezones.

I'm Interested in front-end , back-end and desktop development and I'm available for either short or long term gigs. I work mostly with Javascript/Typescript and PHP (list of tech above). Perhaps you need some help refactoring an existing codebase? Or maybe you have an existing project to get over the finish line? Or perhaps you have new idea and you'd like some kind of prototype sketched out rapidly?

Please get in touch, I should be able to know quickly if this is something I can help with and I'd be happy to do a few hours "exploratory" work/review (no charge) before working together.

Flexible with timezones, I can easily work around EST/PST etc. If you are elsewhere I'm sure we can figure something out.
