Headless CMS Expert | Sanity, StoryBlok, Payload CMS | Next.js, Vercel
I help ambitious businesses launch faster, escape legacy content management systems, and build web experiences that perform — through modern headless CMS architecture and Next.js. I don't just write code, I move the needle. 🟢 You need me when: 📌 Launching a new website You want a fast, scalable foundation from day one. I'll set up the right headless CMS and wire it seamlessly into Next.js, so your team can ship content without touching code. 📌 Escaping your legacy CMS You're tired of fighting WordPress or another traditional CMS and ready to move to a modern, decoupled architecture. I'll migrate you without losing content, SEO, or your sanity. 📌 Turning a Figma design into a real product You have the design ready and need a senior developer to build it out — pixel-perfect, fully responsive, accessible, and wired up to your backend APIs. I'll build with consistency and reusability in mind, so adding new pages or features never feels like starting from scratch. 📌 Building an e-commerce storefront You have a headless Shopify, Medusa, or another commerce engine and need a custom, high-performance storefront built in Next.js that actually converts. 📌 Scaling your development team You have engineers but need someone senior who can plug in immediately, raise the quality bar, and help you ship faster. No long ramp-up period. 📌 Fixing your SEO and AI search visibility You made the move to headless, but you're not sure if SEO is implemented correctly. I'll audit it and make sure you're not leaving organic traffic on the table — or missing out on citations from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. 📌 Already have a website but not sure where to take it I'll audit what you have, identify the gaps, and give you a clear, honest roadmap — whether that means switching CMS, restructuring your architecture, or something else entirely. 🟢 What I Ship With I genuinely love this stuff. I go deep on every technology I work with, so you get someone who knows the modern stack inside out — not just enough to get by.

No Surprises. No Rewrites. Whether you're a business without an in-house tech team or someone in a technical leadership role looking to add a senior engineer to your team, working with me feels different from hiring a typical freelancer. I ask the right questions early, work autonomously, and communicate proactively so you always know where things stand. I take deadlines seriously, flag risks early, and adapt to your workflow and timezone without friction. I write clean, documented code that your team can maintain long after our engagement ends. I've seen what happens when companies cut corners early — bad code, technical debt, and eventually a costly rewrite that runs into tens of thousands of dollars. I make sure my work never leads there. You get it done right the first time. 🟢 Let's Talk If something here resonates, reach out. A quick conversation is all it takes to figure out if we're a good fit.
