START A CONVERSATIONWhy hire me
App Router expertise
Deep production experience with Next.js App Router, Server Components, streaming, and caching semantics. I know when to render on the server, when to hydrate on the client, and how to optimize for Core Web Vitals.
Full-stack on one framework
API routes, serverless functions, edge middleware, and frontend rendering — all within Next.js. I build complete products without the friction of separate backend and frontend teams.
Remote-native collaboration
Structured daily standups, async updates via Slack/Linear, and weekly video check-ins when needed. Based in Japan, collaborating with teams across APAC, EU, and US.
SEO & performance built-in
Every Next.js project ships with structured data, image optimization, font subsetting, and caching strategy. I build products that rank well and load fast.
What you get
- Next.js marketing sites and landing pages with App Router
- Headless CMS integration (WordPress, Contentful, Sanity)
- Design system implementation with Tailwind CSS
- Performance optimization — LCP, INP, CLS, and caching strategy
- Firebase/Supabase backend integration and serverless APIs
How it works
Requirements
Definition of content models, complete page inventory, primary user flows, and technical constraints including CMS selection, authentication requirements, payment integration needs, and internationalization strategy.
Design System
Component library built in Tailwind CSS with consistent typography scales, semantic color tokens, spacing systems, and accessibility baselines meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards — ensuring visual cohesion across all pages and devices.
Development
Next.js App Router implementation using Server Components for data fetching, dynamic route handlers for localized content, API route handlers for form submissions, and headless CMS integration for marketing team autonomy.
Performance
Image optimization with WebP/AVIF formats and responsive srcsets, font subsetting to minimize layout shift, strategic third-party script loading with defer and async attributes, and caching rules tuned for both static and dynamic content.
Launch
Vercel deployment configuration with custom domain setup, staging and production environment separation, analytics verification across GA4 and Search Console, and post-launch monitoring for error rates and Core Web Vitals regression.

FAQ
Why should I hire you as a Next.js developer?
I have shipped production Next.js applications with App Router, Server Components, and edge deployment. Expertise in caching, streaming, SEO optimization, and integrating Next.js with headless CMS and serverless backends.
Do you work remotely with international teams?
Yes. I work remote-native, timezone-flexible, and async-first. Based in Japan, I collaborate with teams across APAC, EU, and US through structured standups and Slack/Linear updates.
What engagement models do you offer?
Fractional frontend lead (2-3 days/week), project-based delivery (4-8 week sprints), and advisory retainers for architecture review and code audits. All engagements start with a one-week paid trial.
Can you migrate our existing React app to Next.js?
Yes. I have experience migrating React SPAs to Next.js with App Router, implementing SSR/SSG where appropriate, and optimizing for performance and SEO during the transition.
What are your typical rates?
Fractional lead roles start at $8,000/month for 2-3 days/week. Project-based delivery is scoped per sprint (typically $12,000–$24,000 for a 6-8 week engagement). Advisory retainers for architecture review and code audits start at $3,000/month. All engagements begin with a one-week paid trial.
How soon can you start?
Typically within 1–2 weeks of contract signature. I keep a limited client roster to ensure deep focus, so availability depends on current sprint commitments. The fastest path is booking a call to discuss scope and timeline.
Can you work in San Francisco's timezone?
Yes, I fully support meetings and real-time collaboration in the PST timezone. Also available in nearby cities including San Jose, Oakland, Palo Alto. I also use async communication for maximum flexibility.
Are your rates aligned with San Francisco market rates?
My rates reflect San Francisco and North America market standards while maintaining global flexibility. Monthly retainers, hourly, and project-based engagements are all available.
