What I can help with
Four things I have done enough times to be useful at on day one. If what you have is next to one of them rather than on it, write anyway - the worst case is a short reply pointing you somewhere better.
-
Web applications
React, Next.js and TypeScript front ends, from an empty repository to something shipped. Node.js, Nest.js or Express behind them when the back end is mine too.
-
Mobile with React Native
Cross-platform apps in React Native and Expo, sharing as much with the web as is sensible to share and no more.
-
Design systems
Company-wide component libraries, with the Storybook documentation, testing floor and adoption work that keeps one from drifting a year later.
-
Leading the team
Team lead work: mentoring engineers, holding a quality bar, and managing scope, deadlines and the stakeholders attached to them.
No form, no funnel, no discovery call
