Can you work on an existing React or Next.js app?

Yes. I review the codebase, dependencies, deployment, and the specific outcome you need. A focused improvement is often more useful than replacing a functioning application.

Do you build SaaS MVPs?

Yes. We scope a small complete product around the first customer workflow. Authentication, billing, administration, and monitoring are included where that first release genuinely requires them.

Can you connect a backend or existing API?

Yes. The scope depends on the API, authentication, data ownership, and failure behavior. I can work with an existing backend or build the server-side application logic the product needs.

Do you also handle design and deployment?

Yes. I can take responsibility for the interface and deployment as well as the application code. If you already have a designer or hosting setup, I work within that context.

Your web product needs more than a landing page.

Freelance Next.js and React development

Custom web applications, SaaS MVPs, marketplaces, and product websites built with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, including the backend workflows that make them useful.

The situation

A working web product connects its public pages to the things a customer came to do: create an account, find the right information, submit a record, or complete a transaction. I work across that whole flow, from the interface to data access and deployment.

The portfolio includes ESL Careers, a jobs marketplace, and a collection of consumer web products. This site is itself a Next.js application with server-rendered content and an interactive visual layer. The architecture should support the product's actual needs, including search discovery and a usable experience on a phone.

How I approach it

Map the product and its data

We identify the users, their permissions, the core records, and the first useful end-to-end flow. This makes dependencies visible before a dashboard fills up with screens that are disconnected from a working system.

Build the interface and backend together

Forms, validation, authentication, and database access are treated as one experience. Third-party services are integrated on the appropriate side of the application, with clear error behavior and documented configuration.

Make public content discoverable

Indexable pages need rendered content, descriptive metadata, crawlable links, and consistent canonical URLs. Private dashboards need the opposite access behavior. The rendering strategy follows the purpose of each route.

Ship an operable application

Deployment configuration, environment variables, critical flow checks, and a maintenance guide are part of the handoff. An existing codebase can be assessed and improved without assuming a full rewrite is necessary.

What gets delivered

Responsive React and Next.js application
Authentication, data model, and backend integrations
Core workflow validation and failure states
Technical SEO for public routes
Deployment configuration and code handoff

What it costs to get wrong

The demo screens work, but no real permissions protect the underlying data.
A public marketing page relies on client-only rendering for its important content.
Payments or background work can fail without a clear operational signal.
