Bespoke builds, not off-the-shelf compromises
As a full-stack developer I build the front-end and the back-end: interfaces your customers enjoy using, and the server-side logic, APIs and databases that power them. That means bespoke functionality, clean integrations and code that’s built to last.
Whether it’s a marketing site, a customer portal, a booking system or a data-driven web app, I choose the right tools for the job, from WordPress to modern JavaScript (React/Vite) front-ends and headless architectures.
What I develop
- Front-end developmentResponsive, accessible, fast interfaces in modern HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
- Back-end & APIsPHP/WordPress, REST APIs, integrations and secure server-side logic.
- Web applicationsBooking systems, portals, dashboards and bespoke SaaS-style tools.
- Headless & JAMstackWordPress + React/Vite where a decoupled front-end is the right call.
- IntegrationsPayment gateways, CRMs, email, analytics and third-party APIs.
- Performance & securityCaching, Core Web Vitals, hardening and best-practice standards.
Built on 20+ years of experience
I’ve delivered high-traffic platforms (including Paddy Power’s betting-news site), bespoke CRMs, WooCommerce stores and custom WordPress plugins. That breadth means I can advise on architecture honestly and build something maintainable, not a black box you’re locked into.
