I build production Next.js apps that ship fast, render fast, and stay easy to change. App Router fluency, RSC where it earns its keep, ISR for content sites, edge for latency-sensitive routes.
Next.js is the framework I reach for first. I have shipped App Router apps in production since the day it left beta, including this site. I know where Server Components win — fewer client bundles, server-side data fetching co-located with the component that needs it — and where Pages Router still earns its keep on legacy projects with deeply customized data layers.
If you have a Next.js codebase that has grown faster than its architecture, I can usually find the cuts. The most common wins are eliminating accidental client components, moving fetch logic to RSC, replacing useEffect data loaders with server actions, and adding ISR with smart revalidation tags so editors do not need to wait for a full rebuild.
If you are starting fresh, I will help you pick the right rendering strategy per route, set up a content workflow that does not paint you into a corner, and ship a v1 in 4–6 weeks rather than 4–6 months.
We walk through the product, your timeline, your data sources, and the rendering strategy you actually need. I send a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours.
I work from your Figma or design from scratch. Architecture doc covers route structure, data fetching boundaries, and revalidation strategy before any code is written.
Demo every Friday. Staging URL from week one. You can poke at every commit.
Final review, deploy to production, README + ARCHITECTURE doc, optional pairing session for your team.
$5,000+ for marketing sites, $15,000+ for product builds. Day rate available for retainers.
4–10 weeks for most builds. Smaller marketing sites can ship in 2–3 weeks.
App Router for all new builds. I will work in Pages Router on existing codebases and can plan a phased migration if that is the goal, but greenfield projects belong on App Router.
Server Components fetching directly from the database or CMS where possible. Server Actions for mutations. Client-side fetching only for genuinely interactive surfaces — search, filters, real-time. SWR or TanStack Query when client fetching is needed.
Yes. Server-rendered HTML is the default. Forms work without JS via Server Actions. Interactive enhancements degrade gracefully.
No. Vercel is the easiest target and what I default to, but I have shipped Next.js to AWS, Cloudflare, Render, and self-hosted on bare metal. The runtime matters less than the rendering strategy.
Yes. I have built and integrated design systems in Tailwind, CSS Modules, vanilla CSS variables, and Shadcn-style component libraries. I follow your conventions, not mine.
