Full Stack Developer Skills & Tech Stack

The technical skills behind every project - front-end, back-end, databases, design, DevOps, and AI integration.

I am a full stack web developer, which means I can take a project from the first wireframe all the way to a deployed, secure, production database. Most of my client work uses the stack below, and I adapt the choice to the problem rather than the other way round - a brochure site does not need a microservices architecture, and a SaaS dashboard certainly does. See how each of these fits into a concrete deliverable.

Approach

How I Work

Build

I write production-grade, maintainable code - components, APIs, and data models engineered to work together as one product.

Integrate & Secure

Authentication, payments, LLM/AI services, and third-party tools are wired in with security best practices and input validation throughout.

Ship & Maintain

Deployment, CI/CD, performance monitoring, and ongoing support so your product stays fast, secure, and up to date after launch.

Standards

Non-Negotiables

Performance First

Server-rendered pages, optimised images, and minimal client JavaScript. I target 90+ on Google Lighthouse and a Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds, because speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor.

Search Engine Ready

Every project ships with clean semantic markup, XML sitemaps, robots configuration, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, and structured data - not bolted on afterwards, but built in from the start.

Mobile & Accessible

Mobile-first layouts designed and tested across real device widths, with semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and sufficient colour contrast so the site works for everyone.

Secure by Default

Input validation on every input, parameterised queries against SQL injection, hashed credentials, environment-based secrets, and dependency audits - reviewed against OWASP guidance.
