Lead Developer at Next

Building web products that are clear, fast, and liveable.

I am Nathan, a developer who likes clean systems, sharp interfaces, and codebases that still make sense six months later.

Where I Help

Product thinking. UI detail. Code that holds up.

Frontend Architecture

Codebases that still make sense later

Structure, boundaries, and conventions that help teams keep moving after the exciting first version has shipped.

Next.jsReactModern.js

UI Craft

Interfaces that feel designed, not decorated

Careful layouts, useful interactions, and responsive details that make products feel considered without getting fussy.

Developer Experience

Tooling that earns its place

Monorepos, build pipelines, and project habits that reduce friction instead of becoming a second job.

Experience

From graduate developer to Lead Developer at Next.

Since June 2019, I have grown through the engineering track at Next, specialising in frontend development and helping support Total Platform. I have worked on browse and shop areas across several retail websites, alongside modernisation work moving parts of a legacy monolith toward independent services.

What I Care About

Good software should feel obvious after someone has done the hard thinking.

Boring code that survives real users
Clear trade-offs over framework hype
Small abstractions with obvious exits
Performance and accessibility as everyday work
Shipping without turning the codebase into a puzzle box

Availability

Occasionally available for compact, focused web work.

Full-time work comes first, but I sometimes make room for small builds, technical cleanups, and front-end rescue missions where the goal is clear.
