Next.js Developer Specializing in High-Performance Web Applications
I am skilled in both front-end and back-end development, and I have the ability to create comprehensive web applications from start to finish. My tools of choice are Next.js/React.
I optimize web applications for speed, performance and SEO. They all have fast load times and an optimal performance across various devices and network conditions.
Because of my background in design, and finance, I understand the aesthetic and business side to any project. While websites have to make good impressions on their visitors, they should also motivate them to action. This is what I aim to accomplish in all of my projects.
This project is a redesign of Taco Bell's website. This is a full stack project similar to 'Elite Retreat Rentals', since it has an admin panel where menu items can be created, updated and deleted. Users can see menu items and reach out via a fully functional contact form.
Elite Retreat Rentals is a Phoenix, AZ based company that provides lodging services to travelers at an affordable price. This full stack project was built with an admin panel that allows the owner to create, update and delete properties. Each property listing shows details and images, and gives users the ability to book in advance with a fully functional booking engine. Stripe payment gateway was added, allowing users can pay in advance with any major credit card.
Golf Guise/AZ Golf Whisperer is a front end project for a client of mine who sells Golf Stay-and-Play packages. The site showcases the details of each package offered, which golf courses they are partnered with, as well as information on golf club rentals. This was built with Next.Js, styled with CSS Modules and Nodemailer was used for the contact form for email notifications.
Nier Transportation is a luxury black car driving service based in Phoenix, AZ, specializing in airport transfers, and long distance drives. Users have the ability to communicate witht the owner via a fully functional contact form that sends messages directly to the owners email address. The blog was built using Makrkdown nadn MDX.
My development toolkit is centered around Next.js, a powerful React framework that enables the creation of high-performance, scalable web applications. I use TypeScript to ensure type safety and maintainable code, while MongoDB serves as my go-to database solution for handling complex data requirements. Additionally, I leverage tools like Git for version control and CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployment and ensure code quality.

I begin each project by thoroughly understanding the goals, target audience, and technical requirements. This phase involves research, brainstorming, and setting a solid foundation for the project's success.
I create detailed wireframes and prototypes that align with the project’s objectives. Through iterative design, I ensure the final product is both functional and visually appealing.
With the design finalized, I move into development, leveraging modern technologies like Next.js and TypeScript. I focus on writing clean, efficient code and seamlessly integrating any necessary third-party services.
Before deployment, I conduct extensive testing to guarantee optimal performance and reliability. Once the project meets all standards, I launch it and continue to monitor and optimize as needed.

Here are some common questions asked by potential employers. If you do not see your question here feel free to reach out.
I have been working with Next.js since version 10 was available with the pages router. Now I build all my projects with the latest verion 14, which utilizes the app router.
I have contributed to many Next.js projects, both large and small. I have desiged components, implemented server-side rendering, optimized performance, and integrated APIs.
I am proficient in other technologies such as React, Node.js, MongoDB, GraphQL, and many more.
Depending on the project/situation, I use the built in React features useState and useEffect. But if the state needs to be accessible accross the entire app, then I'll use libraries like Redux or Zustand. Sometimes I'll use the built in Context API.
Yes, I have optimized many Next.js applications for SEO by implementing dynamic routing, meta tags, and structured data to improve search engine visibility.

Next.js has changed how developers make JavaScript apps by offering many features that boost performance. It handles a lot of the server-side work. Even with its benefits, developers might face challenges in making their Next.js apps run faster. The speed of an app depends on how quickly it sends code, styles, and data to the client the first time.
