Next.js 14+ built the way the framework was meant to be used
App Router, React Server Components, TypeScript strict, Tailwind, and a 95+ Lighthouse score on real data. Frontend-only or full-stack — I'll fit your team.
I've shipped 15+ Next.js apps since the App Router launched and know exactly where its strengths are (server-first data fetching, ISR, edge middleware) and where teams burn hours needlessly. No config archaeology, no client-side waterfalls, no layout shift.

Trusted by founders & teams in
Everything included in every engagement
No upsells. No surprise change orders. One scope, one price.
App Router with server-first data fetching
Layouts, loading states, error boundaries, route groups, and parallel routes done correctly. Zero client-side waterfalls — data arrives before paint.
SEO built into the framework
generateMetadata per page, JSON-LD schema, dynamic OG images, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and canonical URLs. No plugin layer — native Next.js APIs only.
95+ Lighthouse on production traffic
Image optimization with next/image and blur placeholders, font subsetting with next/font, code splitting, and Largest Contentful Paint consistently under 2.5 seconds.
Component architecture that scales
Shared UI primitives, design-token-based Tailwind setup, server vs client boundary strategy documented. Your next hire can contribute from day one.
Vercel + GitHub Actions CI
Preview environments on every PR, production deploys on merge, edge caching for static routes, and error alerting wired up before you touch a real user.
TypeScript strict mode throughout
No implicit any, no type assertions, no ts-ignore. Every component, hook, API route, and server action is typed end-to-end including environment variables.
The tools I actually use in production
Modern, battle-tested, and chosen for fit — not hype.

How we'll work together
Predictable, written-down, no surprises.
- 01
Architecture review
Which pages are static, dynamic, or ISR? Where do server vs client components split? Data-fetching strategy defined before a component is written.
- 02
Design-to-code
Figma or wireframes converted to reusable components with Tailwind tokens, responsive breakpoints, and accessibility built in.
- 03
Integration & testing
API routes, auth, third-party SDKs, and a Playwright smoke suite on the critical paths. Lighthouse CI gating on every PR.
- 04
Deploy & handover
Production Vercel config, team access, environment variables documented, codebase walkthrough, and 30 days of post-launch support.

Questions I get asked first
Should I use the App Router or Pages Router?+
App Router for all new projects — it's where Next.js investment is going. If you're on Pages Router and your app works, migrating just to migrate isn't worth it unless you're hitting specific limitations (ISR granularity, layouts, streaming). I'll tell you honestly.
Can you migrate our existing React / CRA app to Next.js?+
Yes. I do this by building the Next.js shell alongside the existing app and migrating route-by-route. No big-bang rewrites. Each route is tested and deployed before the next one is touched.
Do you work frontend-only, or full-stack?+
Both. I can build the Next.js frontend and integrate it against your existing API, or I can build the API too. Whichever fits your team.
How do you hit 95+ Lighthouse consistently?+
Image lazy loading and correct sizing with next/image, font subsetting with next/font, server-side rendering so there's no JS blocking the first paint, and zero render-blocking third-party scripts. I measure on real devices, not the Lighthouse desktop emulator.
