Freelance React developerAvailable now
A senior React developer your team will want to keep.
I have written React for most of a decade, in a large accounting SaaS, in a regulated pharma environment and in startups shipping their first product. I write the kind of React that is still easy to change two years later: typed, tested where it matters, and boring in the good way.

Is this a fit?
An honest fit check before we talk
I would rather tell you no on the first call than waste your budget. Here is what a good match looks like for this kind of work.
A good fit if
- You have a React codebase and need a senior developer to ship features and raise the quality bar.
- You are starting a new product and want React with Next.js done right from the first commit.
- You want web and mobile from the same skill set: React on the web, React Native with Expo on iOS and Android.
- Your frontend has become slow or fragile and you want it fixed without a rewrite.
Probably not a fit if
- You need GraphQL expertise specifically. I work with REST and have not built production GraphQL APIs.
- You are looking for a junior to do simple markup at a low rate.
- You want many developers at once rather than one senior person.
What I do
What the engagement typically covers
- Component architecture
- Design systems, shared component libraries, forms, tables and data-heavy UI that stays fast and accessible.
- State, data and performance
- Server state, caching, optimistic updates and rendering performance, chosen to fit the product rather than the current trend.
- Testing and CI
- Unit and integration tests where they pay off, type safety everywhere, and a CI pipeline that catches regressions before users do.
- Code review and mentoring
- Review pull requests, document patterns and help the rest of the team move faster. Part of every team engagement.

Process
How we'll work together
The same four steps for a two-day fix and a two-year engagement.
Intro call
A free 30-minute call where you tell me about your project, goals and constraints. I ask a lot of questions and tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
Proposal & estimate
You get a short written proposal: scope, approach, timeline and price. Fixed price for well-defined projects, hourly or retainer for ongoing work.
Build in the open
Short iterations, working software early, and a weekly update you can actually read. You see progress and can change course before it gets expensive.
Launch & support
I handle deployment, hand over clean documentation, and stick around for support and further development if you want me to.
FAQ
Questions I get asked
- Do you work with Next.js, Vite or Create React App?
- All three. New projects usually get Next.js or Vite depending on whether they need server rendering. Existing CRA apps I can maintain or migrate incrementally.
- Can you take over an existing React codebase?
- Yes, that is a large part of my work. I start by reading the code and the git history, write down what I find, and agree on a short list of priorities with you before changing anything.
- How quickly can you start?
- I keep my availability status up to date on the homepage. If it says available, I can usually start within one to two weeks. The first step is a free 30-minute intro call.
- How do you price work?
- Fixed price for well-defined projects, hourly or a monthly retainer for ongoing work. My preferred engagement is 20-40 hours a week for six months or more. Rates are in the proposal, not on the site, because they depend on the scope.
- What happens after launch?
- I stick around. Most of my clients have kept me for one to six years, first for the build and then for support and further development. A retainer of reserved weekly hours is the usual shape, but ad hoc work is fine too.
- Do you work with companies outside Denmark?
- Yes. Most of my work is remote. I am in the Central European timezone, which gives full overlap with Europe and the UK and 3-6 hours of overlap with the US East and Central timezones. I work async-first with a written weekly update.
