About

The longer version

I design and build web products end to end — from the physics of an animation to the query behind it. I care about interfaces that feel right, not just render.

I build things for the web and I like the parts other people skip. Not just the layout that looks good in a screenshot, but the frame budget behind it, the reason a spring feels bouncy, what happens when the database is cold.

Most of my work sits between design and engineering. That means I can tell you not just that a transition works, but why it works, and what it costs. When I pick an easing curve I know how long it takes to settle and how far it overshoots — because I built the tool that measures it.

Outside of client work I maintain open source, write about the things I get wrong, and try to leave codebases calmer than I found them.

What I do

The work, in four shapes

Most projects land in one of these. Each one is a different reason to hire me, and each one comes with the unglamorous parts included.

Product front-ends

Interfaces that hold up on a mid-range phone on a bad connection. Semantic HTML, real focus states, motion that respects reduced-motion.

  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript

Performance work

Finding the three things costing you the most and fixing them. Bundle size, layout thrash, waterfalls, and the animations that quietly force a repaint every frame.

  • Core Web Vitals
  • Profiling
  • Optimisation

Motion & interaction

Animation that is measured rather than guessed. Settle time, overshoot and onset latency computed from the actual spring, then exported as CSS you can ship.

  • Spring physics
  • Framer Motion
  • Design systems

Technical direction

Choosing the stack, the shape of the data and the boring parts nobody demos. Architecture that a team can still read six months later.

  • Architecture
  • Postgres
  • APIs

Skills

What I reach for

Levels are honest. A 75 means I have shipped with it and can debug it, not that I could answer a quiz about it.
