About James

I’m a senior full-stack developer with over 15 years’ experience delivering clean, scalable, and modern applications using C#, .NET, React, and Azure. I specialise in helping growing businesses and tech teams solve complex backend challenges, streamline frontend experiences, and accelerate delivery without sacrificing code quality.

Recent projects include:

Migrating a legacy ASP.NET application to a React + Vite SSR architecture, improving load speed and maintainability.

Building a greenfield SaaS platform using .NET, Cosmos DB, and Azure Functions for a custody scheduling tool.

Leading performance audits and introducing CI/CD pipelines to help teams scale fast with confidence.

I offer:
✅ Rapid ad hoc support (code reviews, bug fixes, architecture advice)
✅ Full-stack builds with modern cloud-native tooling
✅ Clear communication, clean code, and business-aligned thinking

I’m available for short-term consultancy, fractional tech lead work, or standalone dev tasks. Let’s connect if you need a calm, capable pair of hands.
