Full-Stack Developer (Next.js, AI) | Native Dutch & English Translator

I'm a full-stack developer. I take web and app projects end to end: the database schema, the auth, the billing, the admin dashboards, and the AI layer on top. I'm not a front-end-only hire, and the part I'm best at is the code that has to work in production and keep working. Across 830+ hours and 360+ jobs on Upwork I've kept a 100% Job Success Score, and I've been freelancing since 2013. My rate here is $45/hr. Day to day I work in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node, on PostgreSQL and Supabase with Row-Level Security, Stripe for payments, and Payload or Sanity for content. I've wired OpenAI and Claude into real features, not demos. I'm comfortable well past that stack too: Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), PHP/Laravel, Vue/Nuxt, React Native/Flutter, C#/.NET, plus automation and scraping with n8n, Playwright, and Selenium. Tell me your stack and I'll work in it, and several of my tools are open source at github (dot) com/SamWylde. If you'd rather see the work than read about it, a couple of my builds are live: grantcue (dot) com is a multi-tenant SaaS with a 13-source data pipeline, AI scoring, and Stripe billing I built myself, and volunteerclintoncounty (dot) org runs a hardened multi-tenant civic platform. I'll share more relevant examples once I know what you're building. I also handle technical SEO and analytics: Screaming Frog crawls, redirects, canonicals, sitemaps and structured data, Search Console, and GA4 event tracking and funnel analysis. I've also set up or managed Looker Studio and HubSpot. For GrantCue I built the scheduled jobs, the email flows through Resend, the Stripe billing webhooks and the Claude-powered agents. On grantcue (dot) com, Google search clicks grew from about 400 to about 2,200 per 28 days between early September and early October 2026. I'm also a registered Pennsylvania home-improvement contractor, so I know local service businesses from the inside. Alongside the code, I translate. English and Dutch are native for me, German and French fluent, backed by TestDaF (German) and CNaVT (Dutch). For anyone shipping into more than one market, that's one person who can write your migration and your Dutch UI strings and confirm they read right. I handle translation, MTPE, proofreading, localization and localization QA, JSON and string files, subtitling and transcription. Translation is $0.025 per source word, MTPE $0.012, and most jobs turn around inside 24 hours. My translation reviews go back years, on proz (dot) com/feedback-card/2713787, translatorscafe (dot) com/cafe/member386467.htm, and localizor (dot) com/user/4904/. I'm at my desk 9 AM to 3 PM Eastern, in Lock Haven, PA. Send me the repo, the live site, or the file you need translated, and I'll tell you how I'd approach it and what it'll take.
