Experience
20+ apps for real clients. Zero logo walls.
I've been freelancing for the past year, building full-stack apps for real clients across 8 industries. Here's what that looks like, without naming names.

So far
What I've actually been doing.
All my experience so far is freelance. No conventional job yet, just clients, builds and a lot of learning. I've been freelancing for the past year and building full-time for 18 months.
In that time I've shipped 20+ apps for real clients across 8 industries. Real products with logins, dashboards, payments and email. Most of them are on Base44, where I'm a Base44 Partner with a 5.0 rating from 9 reviews.
The work ranges from full builds to rescues: fixing apps that got stuck, tightening security, cleaning up SEO and making things look like someone designed them.
Why no client case studies?
You won't find client case studies here. Their apps, their call. My own projects are on the work page, and the reviews are word for word from Base44.

In production
Running on real apps.
Not demos. These are in production on client apps.
Email with Resend
The emails an app needs to send, set up so they arrive.
Third-party APIs
Connecting apps to the services they depend on, and handling it properly when those services don't cooperate.
Capabilities
The whole thing, front to back.
Most projects need a few of these at once. Each one links to how I would do it for you.
- Full-stack Base44 appsEntities, auth, backend logic and a front end that looks designed.
- UI and UXInterfaces that feel considered, built around the people who use them.
- Security checksRow-level security reviews and pen-testing style checks before launch.
- SEO and performancePages that load fast and that search engines can read.
- IntegrationsPayments, email and APIs, wired in and working in production.
- AI agents and automationSuperagents and automations that take the repetitive work off your plate.
Receipts
How clients describe working with me.
My claim first, then their words. Quoted exactly, trimmed with an ellipsis where it runs long.
What I say
You always know where things are
I keep people in the loop. No going quiet for a week and turning up with a surprise.
What they said
“great to work with, really good communication!”
Connor What I say
I'll tell you if you don't need me
If it's a two-minute fix, I'll tell you it's a two-minute fix. I'd rather be useful than sell you something.
What they said
“Doesn't look to sell me his services unless I need them and was ready to help for free because it was a 2 minute fix.”
holly.hates.mondays (Shadling) What I say
I think through the whole problem
The first thing someone describes is rarely the real problem. I ask until I find it.
What they said
“He not only helped resolve my issues but he has a great way of thinking through the process.”
Mitch Fields (NurturInk.com) What I say
Your users come first
I build for the people who will use the thing, not just for the person paying for it.
What they said
“He doesn't put you in mind just as a client, he puts your users in mind…”
Megan What I say
Creative when it counts
When the obvious answer is wrong, I go looking for a better one.
What they said
“…brings creative, out-of-the-box solutions to the table…”
Charles Lang What I say
Patient with the confusing bits
If you're new to this, that's fine. I'll explain what's going on as we go.
What they said
“…how he was patient in guiding me past my confusions and uncertainty in projects…”
