Freelance React Developer for Australian Teams

Senior React and Next.js developer for Australian teams

Working Sydney and Melbourne business hours. EU-incorporated, invoice in AUD or EUR. Available now.

Why work with me

Most Australian companies hire either local seniors (expensive, scarce) or offshore juniors (cheap, slow, mismatched hours). I'm the third option. Ten years building React and Next.js apps for healthcare, fintech, policy and Web3 clients. Working APAC hours from Asia, fully overlapping with your team.

What I build

  • Next.js applications: SSR, ISR, App Router, edge runtime. Production-grade, not tutorial-grade.
  • Headless CMS builds: Sanity, Contentful. Architected so your content team can actually use it.
  • AI automation and integrations: Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs in real production workflows.
  • WCAG accessibility audits and remediation: paid service, no free audits, no certified-but-broken outputs.
  • Frontend rescue and refactor: taking over broken projects from previous developers or AI-generated codebases.

Proof, not promises

  • CeHDI (policy, multilingual, accessibility): Next.js + Sanity + Vercel, rescued from a failed handover, now live at cehdi.org.
  • Flowrence (healthcare platform): Nx monorepo, SST/AWS, multi-tenant SaaS architecture.
  • Gems XYZ (Web3 social platform): real-time social product, Solana integrations.
  • Altimetrik (agency partnership): white-label senior frontend delivery.

How engagements work

  • Hourly or fixed-scope, your call.
  • Invoice in AUD, EUR or USD. Polish business entity, EU-compliant invoicing.
  • GST handled correctly for cross-border services. I do not charge GST, you self-account if required. Clean invoices with everything your accountant needs.
  • Async-first, daily standup available on request.
  • Pilot first: 2 to 4 week paid pilot with fixed scope. After the pilot we decide together whether to continue.

FAQ

Can you really work Australian business hours from Asia? Yes. Based in Chiang Mai (UTC+7). Sydney and Melbourne are UTC+10 or +11. That's a 3 to 4 hour overlap with my morning and your afternoon, plus shared working day. Daily standups, real-time pairing and same-day code review are all standard.

Are you available for short-term sprints or only long engagements? Both. Typical sprints run 2 to 8 weeks, fixed scope. Longer retainers also available. I do not take engagements under 20 hours total, it's not enough to deliver real value.

What's your response time on async messages? Within 12 hours on business days, usually faster. Messages sent in your morning get a response by your afternoon.

Do you work with agencies or only direct clients? Both. White-label arrangements available if you need me to ghost-build for your clients. See the Altimetrik case study for an example. NDA-friendly.

What stack do you specialize in? React, Next.js, TypeScript, headless CMS (Sanity, Contentful), Tailwind, Postgres/Supabase, Vercel, AWS via SST. AI integrations using Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs.
