Hire a Next.js and TypeScript developer
Next.js is what I build on daily — App Router, server components, server actions, streaming, and the deployment and caching behaviour that comes with them. Every production product in my portfolio runs on it, so the tradeoffs I recommend come from having lived with the consequences.
- Next.js applications in production
- 20+Next.js applications in production
- load time reduction on a Next.js revamp
- 40%load time reduction on a Next.js revamp
- App Router used across all current work
- Next 14App Router used across all current work
Where teams get stuck
App Router is a genuine relearning curve
Server components, caching layers, and server actions change how data flows through an application. Teams migrating from the Pages Router routinely hit caching behaviour they did not expect.
Your Next.js app is slower than it should be
Next.js is fast by default and easy to make slow — client components where server components belong, unoptimised images, oversized bundles, and blocked rendering paths.
Hiring for React is not hiring for Next.js
React experience does not cover rendering strategies, caching semantics, or route-level data patterns. Those are exactly where production Next.js applications go wrong.
What you get
- Next.js App Router applications built on current, supported patterns
- Pages Router to App Router migrations done incrementally
- Server components and server actions used where they genuinely help
- TypeScript throughout, typed end to end from database to UI
- Core Web Vitals optimisation with before-and-after measurements
- SEO fundamentals built in — metadata, structured data, sitemaps, canonicals
- Deployment on Vercel, Google Cloud, Docker, or your own infrastructure
How it works
- 01
Codebase review
For existing projects I start by reading the code and identifying the highest-impact issues before proposing any changes.
- 02
Plan with tradeoffs stated
You get the approach in writing, including what it costs and what it rules out. No architecture decisions made silently.
- 03
Ship incrementally
Work lands in reviewable pieces your team can follow, rather than one enormous pull request at the end.
- 04
Document and hand over
Patterns documented so your team can extend the work without needing me.
