React Development — Component Systems & Web Applications.
React applications, dashboards and component libraries built to be maintained — typed, tested, accessible, and without the state-management archaeology.
React is excellent and easy to make a mess with. The recognisable symptoms: four different ways of fetching data, a global store holding things that were never global, components a thousand lines long, and nobody confident enough to refactor anything.
None of that is React's fault — it is what happens when a codebase grows without conventions. The fix is unglamorous: pick patterns, apply them consistently, and keep components small enough to understand.
I build new React applications and rescue existing ones, with an emphasis on code the next developer can work in.
React work.
Dashboards & admin UIs
Data-heavy interfaces with tables, filters and charts that stay responsive at real data volumes.
Component libraries
A documented design system your team builds against, with accessibility built into the primitives.
SPAs & web apps
Single-page applications with sensible routing, data fetching and error boundaries.
TypeScript adoption
Incremental typing of an existing JavaScript codebase without a big-bang rewrite.
Refactoring & rescue
Untangling state, splitting oversized components, and getting a codebase back to maintainable.
Accessibility
Keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA where needed — including on the hard components.
How I approach it.
Server state is not client state
The single most common React architecture mistake is putting API data in a global store and then managing caching, invalidation and loading states by hand. Query libraries exist precisely for this. Separating server state from genuine UI state removes a large share of the complexity in most codebases.
Accessible components, once
Modals, dropdowns, comboboxes and tabs are the components people get wrong — focus traps, escape handling, ARIA relationships. Building them properly once in a component library means every feature after that inherits it, instead of every developer reinventing it badly.
Types are documentation that cannot go stale
TypeScript pays for itself most on the boundaries — API responses, component props, form shapes. That is also where it can be adopted incrementally, so an existing JavaScript codebase gets the benefit without stopping feature work for a rewrite.
Virtualise before you optimise
Most sluggish dashboards are rendering thousands of rows the user cannot see. Virtualisation fixes that in an afternoon and outperforms weeks of memoisation. Measure first — the bottleneck is rarely where it feels like it is.
The process.
Listen
A 30-minute call to understand the problem behind the brief. The fix is often not what you first ask for.
Quote
A real number tied to a real scope — never a copy-paste price list. Sent within 24 hours.
Build
I work in staging, in your repo, with commits you can audit. I send a daily update so you are never wondering.
Deliver
Smoke test together, document, deploy. Then I stick around to catch the edge cases.
What you get with me.
- Agreed conventions for data fetching and state
- TypeScript on component and API boundaries
- Accessible primitives for the hard components
- Tests on logic and critical user flows
- Performance profiling with real data volumes
- Documentation of patterns for your team
Questions, answered.
React or Next.js for my project?
If it is public content that needs to rank, Next.js. If it is a logged-in application behind auth where SEO is irrelevant, plain React with Vite is often simpler and perfectly appropriate.
Can you work with our existing codebase and conventions?
Yes. Consistency with what your team already does is worth more than my preferences. Where an existing pattern is causing real problems I will say so, with a suggested path rather than a demand for a rewrite.
Do you build React Native apps too?
Yes, for straightforward applications sharing logic with a web app. For complex native requirements I will tell you honestly if a specialist is a better fit.
Can you add tests to a codebase that has none?
Yes, starting where the value is highest — the business logic and the flows that would hurt most if they broke. Chasing a coverage percentage from zero is not a good use of budget.
