Freelance Capabilities

Six ways I plug into your engineering roadmap.

Every capability below is a real engagement I've run as an independent contractor — with a defined artifact, a phased plan, and a written scope on the table before a line of code is written.

Headless Commerce

Decouple your storefront from your back-office. I build blazing-fast, custom shopping experiences on Next.js while keeping the reliable checkout logic of platforms like CS-Cart, Shopify Plus, or WooCommerce.

React & Next.js Applications

High-performance, SEO-optimized frontends. Corporate sites, B2B portals, SaaS dashboards — scalable React architectures built for speed, accessibility, and conversion.

Explore Service

Node.js & API Development

Secure, scalable backend services. REST and GraphQL APIs, payment gateway integrations, background jobs, and business logic engineered for reliability under load.

Headless CMS Integration

Give your content team a modern editor without sacrificing frontend speed. Directus, Sanity, Payload, or Contentful — modelled around your actual editorial workflow, not a generic template.

Platform Customization

Deep customization for CS-Cart, WooCommerce, Laravel Commerce, and custom payment gateways. Advanced add-ons, product architecture, and tier-pricing logic that goes beyond what themes and plugins can offer.

AI Requirement Analysis

AI-assisted project discovery. I use LLMs during the scoping phase to surface edge cases, generate feature maps, and pressure-test data models before a single line of code is written.

How a freelance engagement runs, end to end

Four phases, each producing a written artifact you can forward to a stakeholder without a translation call — so nothing important lives only inside my head or a Slack thread.

01

Discovery

A working session — not a template questionnaire — to name the outcome, the users behind it, and the constraints ruled out.

02

Architecture

Stack, data model, API contracts, and deployment shape documented before a line of production code is written.

03

Execution

Weekly demos on staging, short-lived branches, CI-enforced budgets. Scope changes get written impact estimates.

04

Handoff

Zero-downtime release, observability wired, docs written for the next engineer to inherit cold. 30-day post-launch warranty.

Common Questions

Before you brief me, most people ask

Five short answers to the operational questions that come up in every first call.

Do you take on both small audits and multi-quarter builds?
Yes. Engagements range from a two-week code and architecture audit (with a written blueprint at the end) to a six-month fixed-scope build with weekly milestone demos. The shape of the engagement is decided in a first-call working session — not sold from a menu.
How do you scope a fixed-price build?
Every fixed-scope quote starts with a written requirements pack — usually two to five pages naming the user stories, edge cases, integration risks, and dependencies. The price and milestone plan are attached to that pack, not to a Gantt chart pulled out of thin air.
Can you plug into an existing engineering team?
Yes. Retainer engagements let founders and CTOs place a senior engineer inside the sprint — code review, architecture calls, hands-on implementation, and technical strategy input. Usually 60 to 120 hours a month with a written weekly digest.
What technology decisions do you push back on?
Anything that adds operational surface area without a matching business win: microservices for a five-engineer team, exotic databases when Postgres would do, a rewrite when the codebase actually just needs a refactor. Simple, boring, proven — that is the default position.
Do you sign NDAs and IP-assignment agreements?
Yes. Standard practice for every paid engagement is a mutual NDA plus a work-for-hire clause assigning all delivered code to the client on final payment. Contracts are usually turned around inside 48 hours.

Something you need shipped
this quarter?

Send a two-line brief with the outcome you're after — a build, an audit, a rescue, a second opinion. I read it personally and reply within one business day. No agency middle-layer. No sales funnel.
