Let’s work together!

In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, having a seasoned expert on your team can be the difference between success and stagnation. With nearly two decades of diverse tech experience, I bring a unique blend of technical prowess, leadership skills, and community influence to the table.

What can an expert Svelte and SvelteKit Developer Advocate do for you?

With 21 years of experience in the tech industry, including 9 years of hands-on web and fullstack development, I offer more than just coding skills. My proficiency lies in empowering teams, driving adoption, and elevating products through education, advocacy, and strategic guidance.

With my diverse background I have honed my skills in stakeholder management and realistic project management, which I’ve successfully applied throughout my career. This unique combination allows me to bridge the gap between technical implementation and business needs effectively.

As a Svelte ambassador and co-founder of the Svelte Society London events for nearly 3 years, I serve as a bridge between your team and the broader Svelte community. This proactive approach can significantly boost your product’s adoption, visibility, and success.

Whether it’s delivering top-tier workshops, leading projects, or advocating for your product, my diverse skill set can drive tangible results for your team and business.

Workshops & speaking engagements

Empowering developers through education

With 4 years of experience delivering engaging talks at events like JSNation, CityJS, Connect.Tech Atlanta, and Jamstack Conf, I’ve honed my skills in translating complex technical concepts into actionable learning experiences. My workshops aim to empower developers, providing them with the tools and knowledge to navigate and utilize Svelte and SvelteKit effectively.

From beginner-friendly introductions to advanced deep dives, I offer workshops that cater to all experience levels. Participants walk away with a comprehensive understanding of these powerful tools and the ability to implement them effectively in their own projects.

Consulting & project delivery

Bringing expert knowledge and leadership to your team

Beyond standalone workshops, I offer long-term consulting services and project leadership. As the current Application Team Lead at XtendOps, overseeing a large SvelteKit monorepo codebase, I bring valuable experience in leading multi-national remote teams and ensuring best practices throughout the development lifecycle. For specialized Svelte consulting services, visit Svelte Consulting or OES Technology.

My approach is collaborative and adaptive, focusing on creating a positive and productive working environment. I believe in the importance of communication and transparency in ensuring a project’s success, and work with team members to foster these values.

Whether your team needs to expand its knowledge of Svelte and SvelteKit, or require expert guidance on a major project, my wealth of experience can be a valuable asset.

Common scenarios where I deliver successful projects:

• You need a developer advocate to increase the visibility and adoption of your product.
• You require assistance with workshops, tutorials, demos, educational videos, and blog posts for your platform.
• You need an experienced developer to create sample applications, prototypes, and code samples showcasing Svelte and SvelteKit with your product.

If any of these situations describe your needs, you’re in the right place. Let’s collaborate to elevate your project to new heights.

How much?

Transparency and flexibility

I believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. To simplify this process, I’ve added pricing widgets that cover the services I offer, all calculated on a single rate.

Currency preference and client location

While I’m based in the UK (Swanley, Kent), I’ve had the privilege to work with diverse teams across different time zones. I prefer payments in EUR or USD, aligning well with the international tech market. However, I’m adaptable and can work with your company’s local currency if needed.

My preference leans towards forming long-lasting relationships with international companies, valuing the dynamics of global cooperation and the opportunities they present.

Rates

The widget below factors in holidays (with 8 days public holidays as default). If you’re willing to provide Paid Time Off (PTO) or it’s a short contract, you can adjust using the slider. This gives you an idea of the budget and helps align with your existing employment practices.

Now, let’s go into specifics:

Workshops

I offer several types of workshops to level-up your team’s SvelteKit skills. From basics through API integration and styling with contemporary tools like Tailwind and daisyUI, these workshops offer comprehensive insights into working with Svelte and SvelteKit.
