Writing

I publish articles on my personal website and occasionally guest-blog elsewhere.

Creating A Multi-Author Blog With Next.js

smashingmagazine.com/2021/06/creating-multi-author-blog-nextjs

Smashing Magazine published one of my articles. It teaches readers how to create many-to-many relationships between content in Next.js. It’s a pattern I use frequently in my projects.

In the article, I distill the approach to a generic version. It assumes the use of Markdown files to manage local content instead of using a database or service. If readers follow the article, they are able to apply this pattern in their own projects.

Work with me

I offer my services on a freelance basis through my business.

I am looking for roles as a Lead or Senior Front-end Developer in cross-functional teams. Refining existing products is as interesting to me as greenfield projects.

I prefer medium- to long-term engagements spanning a fixed number of days per week. We agree on a regular weekly contribution, which I then invoice using a daily rate.

My contracts do not specify an end date and offer a flexible cancellation policy.
