How I Work

1

Architecture & Planning

I design a scalable architecture for the system, including the frontend structure, backend services and API design. This stage ensures the application is built using the right technologies and patterns for long-term maintainability and performance. Typical considerations include:

  • • React application architecture
  • • TypeScript code structure
  • • API and backend system design
  • • performance and scalability
2

React Development

I build applications using modern React development practices with a focus on performance, maintainability and developer experience. This includes component-driven architecture, strongly typed systems with TypeScript and clear state management strategies. The goal is to create applications that are easy to maintain, extend and scale as the product grows. Technologies commonly used include:

  • • React
  • • TypeScript
  • • TanStack Start
  • • Next.js
  • • Modern frontend tooling
3

Full Stack Integration

Alongside frontend development, I build the backend services and APIs that power modern web applications. I focus on designing reliable backend systems that support complex user interfaces and data-driven products. These systems provide the infrastructure required for scalable SaaS platforms, dashboards and web applications. Typical backend technologies include:

  • • Node.js
  • • TypeScript
  • • TRPC Type-safe API's
  • • Golang
  • • Python
  • • Ruby

Production Ready Software

The final stage is ensuring the application is production ready and built to scale. This includes performance optimisation, testing, deployment and long-term maintainability. The goal is not just to launch a product, but to deliver software that teams can confidently continue to build on. Areas of focus include:

  • • Deployment setup
  • • Scalable infrastructure
  • • QA and launch support
  • • Documentation
  • • Ongoing improvement plan
