What I can help you build.

From a first website to the foundations behind several products. We’ll agree on the problem, deliverables, and handover before the build begins.

01

Websites & apps

A clear, useful product your customers can use and your team can maintain.

Websites & web apps
Responsive business websites, dashboards, and custom workflows, from interface to integration and handover.
React Native apps
Mobile interfaces and connected product flows. Backend work and app-store submission are agreed in the project scope.
Deployment & maintenance
Domain setup, automated deployments, monitoring, and ongoing updates, with Cloudflare or Netlify where appropriate.
02

Frontend platforms

Shared foundations that help product teams ship without rebuilding the same things.

React & React Native design systems
Design tokens, accessible components, web and native foundations, documentation, and a practical adoption plan.
SDKs & published libraries
Typed APIs, integration examples, npm or private-registry publishing, versioning, and automated release workflows.
Microfrontend architecture
Module Federation with Webpack, shared dependency decisions, and incremental migrations where independent releases help your team.
03

Interactive experiences

Give people a reason to explore, learn, and spend a little more time with your story.

Interactive 3D websites
Playable worlds and guided discovery, with mobile controls and a direct route to the underlying content.
Destination explorers
Scope a focused prototype around geographic discovery, place stories, or a useful visitor journey.
Educational games
Start with one audience and one learning objective, then build a short experience with clear feedback.
