About

I'm a web developer based in New Zealand. I've spent the last ten years building websites, platforms, and integrations for clients who've outgrown what off-the-shelf software can do. Almost all of that work has been remote. Currently taking on new projects.

Experience over code

After ten years and a lot of projects, the most useful thing I bring isn't code. It's having seen enough similar problems to know when a brief is right and when it needs pulling apart. Whether I'm working alongside your team or independently, the code I leave behind should be easy for anyone to pick up.

Communication is the job

I work in your repo, your CI pipeline, and your sprint board. GitHub, Linear, Jira, whatever your team already uses.

AI-assisted development

I use AI tools to handle the mechanical side of development so I can spend more time on planning and getting the approach right. All code is reviewed by me before being deployed.

How engagements work

Most of my work is fixed-scope: we agree on what needs building, I scope it, build it, and hand it over. I'm also open to ongoing work or embedding in an existing team if that's a better fit for the project.
